 This text can be used instead of, or in conjunction with [[SetObjText]] to display some text above a unit. It is directly attached to the unit and cannot be re-positioned. Although being labeled as "debug", it can be used in non-editor gameplay. For example, the game uses it to display the out-of-ammo message for the Airship.\\ This text can be used instead of, or in conjunction with [[SetObjText]] to display some text above a unit.

-Both this API and [[SetObjText]] have access to all compatible formats in CW4. If you plan to resize the text, you will need to use the format "<color #8BDFFF><line-height=[Insert number]></color>" as this type of text will not scale it's line-spacing correctly with the change in text size. Typically; "<color #8BDFFF><line-height=100%></color>" solves this problem very reliably for using "<color #8BDFFF><size=8></color>" which is a neat size. Just be sure to either limit the line-width by adding "<color #8BDFFF><br></color>" to create new lines or limit the left line-margin using "<color #8BDFFF><margin-right=[Insert number]></color>".\\+Both this API and [[SetObjText]] have access to all compatible formats in CW4.

Typically; "<color #8BDFFF><size=[SOME NUMBER]><line-height=100%></color>" solves this problem entirely. Unlike [[SetObjText]], new lines will be created so you won't need to manually add formats like "<color #8BDFFF><br></color>".\\
