how do I use a percent sign within a hint? ofp seems to drop it from a hint message.

At first I wasn't sure, but I figured out how just now.


You first have to declare the percent sign as a string variable like this:

percentstring = "%"

Then you can do your formatted hint like this:

hint format["Hello, my name is %1, and I can put a %2 sign on the screen! Woohoo!",name player,percentstring]

I attached an example mission so you can see it.

Thanks that worked.
