I'm assuming those are all unit names and not display text.

You are a life saver, guna test them out here in a second.
Perfect, thanks so much :rolleyes:

So, here is another question:
Are there names that are too long to be overlapped, (unit names). Say if I named a unit "Super Fast Cool Battle Cruiser", would it still overlap or is it too long of a name? From what I've noticed, unit names can be about 15 characters long and then they start to not work.

[Sorry about the bump guys, I just need to know the answer to this and I know that no one would have looked at the thread again if I didn't bump :(]

Yes. That is too long to overlap.



None.

You can edit the string from the string editor, however, I don't think that a string that long, overlapped or not, would even show up on the unit.



None.

5. Run simple tests yourself. If it takes less than two minutes to make an example map and find your answer, do that instead of posting.

haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?
