Is there an SCT addon you can mix with Blizzards own SCT?

I would like to use an add on for my "self" texts but keep blizzards SCT for the targets. Is there any SCT add on that has this option?

The original Scrolling Combat Text still works fine. (I haven't tried the latest version because I've made local modifications to my copy over the years, but in the worst case it won't require more than a couple of tweaks for Monks.)

Any addon that has scrolling combat text cannot modify Blizzard's, as it is considered part of the 3D world, rather than part of the interface. Aside from replacing the entirety of the combat text with an addon, the only way to modify Blizzard's is by changing the font.

Right but I don't want it to modify the Blizzard SCT. Just to leave it alone.

If you're using MSBT, the options to leave the game's floating damage and healing text alone are right on the General options page that's visible when you open the options frame, labeled "Game Damage" and "Game Healing":

That screenshot is no longer accurate. Those options are not present in the newest version of MSBT.

I haven't used MSBT (or any other combat text addon) in years, but I can't imagine a good reason for removing those options. Are you sure they weren't just moved somewhere else?
