    Unless I'm missing something, you would just spawn an actor with the image of the pop out you want and use a Display Text behavior to display the attribute (e.g. game.damage). Then use something like an after 2 seconds timer with an Interpolate behavior that interpolates self.color.Alpha to 0 for 0.5 seconds to fade the actor. Play with the durations to see what you like.

    well the damage is at random numbers so i was asking/wondering how to do it in multiple digits?

    Okay, so you're talking about custom fonts, not just a comic book text bubble that appears. If you Google gamesalad custom font, there are many tutorials about this.
