Hint to just one player/vehicle.

[nerkaid 1]

Hi all!

I have a behaivour on my mission. I need to hint a message to just one player. How could I do?

I was checking "cutText" an others, but nothing seems work except the vehicleChat and radio messages, but it isn't ok for my mission, I need something like hint.

Thanks in advance and regards!

Name your unit in editor and use (IsPlayer yourunitname) as an argument in a script or trigger or just synch your unit to a trigger with appropriate settings. Better if you explain your mission plan...

Yeah, I could do it with a trigger and -> Text -> Effect, but I'm working on a script (.sqf) so I think I need a script command or something like that...

EDIT: Maybe

if (isPlayer _Soldier1) then {hint "Message";};

Could work! I going to try! Thanks

I'm working on a "repair, refuell, and rearm" script, and I have a hint counter (from x% to 100%) with the level of the repairs. I want that the hint message been showed just for the pilot. Now I have this on a script activated by trigger and works:

_heli = _this select 0;

_pil = driver _heli;

_por = 100;

_signo = "%";

if (IsPlayer _pil) then {

hint format ["Estado de reparación:\n%1%2", _por, _signo];

};

But, I think the hint message will still appears to all the players on the mission, not just for the driver pilot.

EDIT: With:

if (!isPlayer _pil) exitWith{};

Still not works :(

isplayer returns true if _pil is any player.

you could try

if (player != _pil) exitWith{};

player returns the local player object

if (name _pil == name player) then {};

[killzone_kid 1326]

[nil,playerObj,"loc",rHINT,"message"] call RE;

[giallustio 770]

[nil,playerObj,"loc",rHINT,"message"] call RE;

It's not needed if the trigger is set in the editor

[clydefrog 3]

[nil,playerObj,"loc",rHINT,"message"] call RE;

Multiplayer framework code doesn't work in Arma 3 as Arma 3 doesn't use the multiplayer framework.

Also, doesn't just "player in thislist" only show an onAct hint to the player who triggered it? Or at least it shows the effects text only to the player who triggered it.

[killzone_kid 1326]

in this case

//function:

rHINT = [];
fnc_rHINT = {
private ["_player","_message"];
_player = _this select 0;
_message = _this select 1;
if (!isNull _player && {local _player}) then {
	hint _message;
};
};
"rHINT" addPublicVariableEventHandler {(_this select 1) call fnc_rHINT;};

//call:

rHINT = [playerObj, "message"];
if (local (rHINT select 0)) then {
rHINT call fnc_rHINT;
} else {
publicVariable "rHINT";
};

Thanks in advance and regards!!!!
