Is it possible to only display a hint for a specific player?

Hi,

I was wondering whether it is possible to have a "hint" displayed for a specific player only, as I'm trying to create a multiplayer mission where each player has their own set of objectives.

Thanks for any help.

How are you triggering this from a trigger or a script or what?

Basically you can do an

If (name player == Bob){

hint format["You suck %1", name player]; };

if his name is Bob, it will tell him he sucks :)

I think that will work but it might help if you gave more information in your posts bud, my crystal ball is broken and for the best solution specifics help ;)

I also have been wondering how can I do this.

I need that special message is sent to the player who is playing as certain unit (Lets say, unit which name is helicopter_pilot), and no one else.

What do I put into a SQS script?

([helicopter_pilot] exec "asdasd.sqs";)

_unit = _this select 0;

?(unit == _unit): hint "You shouldn't be flying, because you are drunk!";

Can't test MP-scripting often, because I only have one computer what is capable to launch ArmA 2, and I don't want to beg my friends to come and test it every day. ;)

I'm using a trigger to activate the hints, so if for example player1 destroys a tank, the hint "Tank Destroyed" will only be displayed for him.

Thanks for the help, will try your suggestion out now.
