Hinting in MP
« on: 13 Aug 2004, 15:37:28 »
Some questions about hints:

Does the "hint" command work in MP if I use it in a trigger? Or will it only be shown on the server??? (i.e hint "Go to next waypoint!")

Im sorting out some mission ideas, but I donÂ't have access to OFP on this computer and canÂ't test the command myself. Anybody who knows?!?

hint works just fine in MP, I use it like this:
hint format [blah blah blah\nnext line blah] but I only use it in scripts, never tried in a trigger

I suspect that if you use a hint in a script it will appear only on the computer local to that script, but if you use it in a trigger it will appear on all computers.

Remember that most servers play on veteran and thus will not see the WP you want them to go to.

When you trip a trigger, the condition is executed globally, so, yes, they should show up to everyone.

Depends upon how the script is called.

If it's called through an addAction, it'll execute locally.

Triggers execute globally, thus, everyone will see it in a script.
