Using Hint on Dedi

[1para{god-father} 105]

Hi Guys,

How come when I use Hint in a trigger it will not come up on a dedi server?

I thought Hint would show on everyone’s Screen is that not the case ?

If not how would I show a simple Hint message on everyone’s screen ?

If you hint from a trigger, it will show to the machines the trigger fires on. If you use "player in thislist" for example as trigger condition, the trigger will fire separately (when they enter the area) for each player. And it will never fire on server side on dedi.

In short:

- hint is only shown on the machine(s) it get's executed on

- trigger will fire only on the machine(s) the condition is true

Neither gets sync'd in anyway to or from server or between clients.

When asking for help, you should automatically include whatever trigger/script you are currently using so we don't have to ask for it. ;)

Thanks,

I was just using:-

Hint" you have been spotted" in a trigger for Bluefor present

So in a trigger if they enter into the area how would I show that message to eveyone in game sorry for silly question but still very much learning !

Many thanks

Might be an easier way but I you could use two triggers.

One trigger set to bluefor detected by opfor. and on ACT:

abc = true

make another trigger that 0 x 0 and set it to anybody.

Condition:

abc

activation

hint "everyone will see this"
