Aculaud 0 Posted September 15, 2002 I like using hint text to tell the player about functions that i add like artillery and whatnot, but i respect the fact that many people play in veteran mode. So will hint text still show up for them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RED 0 Posted September 15, 2002 Yes, when you preview in the editor you are in veteran mode. RED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow 6 Posted September 15, 2002 there is a condition called 'cadetmode'. You can use that along with your existing conditions for showing the hints. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">condition:yourcondition && cadetmode on activation: hint"bla-bla-bla-bla"<span id='postcolor'> That way the hints only show when the player is playing in cadetmode Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphwiggum 6 Posted September 15, 2002 AFAIK, hint shows up in veteran mode if objective becomes visible (from hidden), or if mission maker made to do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RED 0 Posted September 15, 2002 No Ralph Wiggum, hints don't show when an objective comes avalible (unless the mission designer makes it happen) RED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â PEACE<span id='postcolor'> No, all "hintc" does is make the player aknowledge what the text says by hitting 'enter' for the game to continue. 'HintC' works in both cadet and Vet-mode. If you want hints to show up in cadet-mode only, then follow what I said in a previous post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black_Feather 0 Posted September 16, 2002 Shadow's right, you want to use HintCadet to display a hint in cadet mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
