Creating "Hints"

[GunnDawg09 10]

Did a search on this and wasnt able to find anything. How would I create a hint that pops up saying "Objective completed. You have a new objective, check your map".

This is what my current trigger looks like that ends the current objective, and creates a new one.

task1 setTaskState "SUCCEEDED"; alpha_clear=true; task2 = player createSimpleTask["Rendezvous"]; task2 setSimpleTaskDestination (getMarkerPos "obj2"); task2 setSimpleTaskDescription["Rendezvous", "Rendezvous", "Rendezvous"]; "obj2" setMarkerSize [1, 1]; "obj2" setMarkerText "Extraction"

[objNull, ObjNull, tskExample1, "SUCCEEDED"] execVM "CA\Modules\MP\data\scriptCommands\taskHint.sqf";

so I would just paste that after my current code?

hmmm yeah I looked that over and it does a great job going over how to create tasks and what not, But didnt see to much information regarding one of those "hint" pop ups.

Also your first load of text should form part of the the briefing file, then OLDPZ's reply would be in the Trigger Script.

I downloaded 1 or 2 user made missions and pbo extracted them to see how they coded the briefing document and mission triggers, etc. Helped to answer a lot of questions.

got it...its just hint "text here";

That just displays in the top right hand corner, good for intermediate hints. Task Status hints are better using the full process as described in that "Briefing How to" as shown with the screen shots.

Its a personal choice I guess.

hmmm yeah not seeing it on page 8, I suppose its cause I dont know what syntax I am looking for.
