ArmA 3 Showcase Hints?

[DarkCrisis 1]

I'm dying to know how those hints like in the 4 showcases for single player are made. I can only make those bullet hints or a black text box on the right side. Anyone know how to make those specific hints like in the showcases?

Maybe you should look through the function-library in the editor. I bet it's in there.

These hints are defined in config class CfgHints (see Editor > Config Viewer > configfile > CfgHints) and there is function BIS_fnc_advHint for using them in missions. For description of this function see Editor > Function Viewer > Hints > BIS_fnc_advHint. Hints can be defined in description.ext file in mission folder as well.

These are from the showcase missions

_null = [["InfantryMovement", "BasicDive"], 15] spawn BIS_fnc_advHint

_null = [["Weapons", "Underwater"], 15] spawn BIS_fnc_advHint

_null = [["Weapons", "Reload"], 15] spawn BIS_fnc_advHint;

_null = [["Weapons", "Zeroing"], 15] spawn BIS_fnc_advHint;

_null = [["Tactics", "ArtilleryCall"], 15] spawn BIS_fnc_advHint

_null = [["Vehicle", "Entering"], 15] spawn BIS_fnc_advHint

_null = [["Vehicle", "Driving"], 15] spawn BIS_fnc_advHint

_null = [["Vehicle", "VehicleGUI"], 15] spawn BIS_fnc_advHint

_null = [["Vehicle", "Seats"], 15] spawn BIS_fnc_advHint

_null = [["Vehicle", "Firing"], 15] spawn BIS_fnc_advHint;

How do it have to look like in the description.ext?

edit: got it working to show up in the field manual, but how to call it with BIS_fnc_advHint?
