[SOLVED] hint/hintSilent stuttering

[kibaBG 49]

I made addAction so player can check his rating but using it screws performance for a while, game starts to micro stutter, etc. Additional to this it shows error in line 1 ...
 

//the addAction
player addAction ["Check Your Rating",{
execVM "rating.sqf"}];
//in rating.sqf
hintSilent format ["RATING %1",rating player];

Can this be done in more optimized way?

Hi, if there no more context in your script you don't need to make a execVM.

The culprit isn't this code. Tell us more about your scenario and scripts.

@pierremgi There is no much to tell. I just use player rating as currency for calling CAS, buying vehicles, etc in a sandbox SP scenario. I can use money system but since rating is already in the game giving points for killing enemies I use that. 🙂  When the sandbox is ready I will make a "release topic". 

Edit: Changing hintSilent with just hint removes the stuttering. I always thought hintSilent is less resource heavy but ...

It's literally just hint without sound.

Both already ditched for sideRadio and sideChat 😄 and some radio sentences from the config.

*edit* - never mind, not thinking straight.

This is what I did to avoid using hint/sintSilent. 

_a = str rating player; 
[west,"PAPA_BEAR"] sideChat _a;

Beyond this work around, you could open a ticket for warning devs about a potential issue. No sure someone here can explain why hintSilent (vs hint) could ruin performance, to a level you can feel stuttering in game. Just a suggestion.
