[CSGO] New hint messages
I've found a new way to display hint text to players.
Pros: - The font looks nicer that the usual one
- The font is bigger by default
- Nice animation when displayed
- You can control the display time
- You can change the colors
Cons: - It doesn't support html tags from what I've tested ( around 2 am btw so I might be wrong )
- By default, you can't overlap hint texts. I you might need to create an event named "instructor_server_hint_stop" to stop and display another hint text. Not tested yet. I will come with updates
PHP Code:
public void OnPluginStart()
{
RegConsoleCmd("sm_test", Command_Test);
}
public Action Command_Test(int client, int args)
{
Event new_event = CreateEvent("instructor_server_hint_create", true);
new_event.SetString("hint_caption", "Ez New Hint by kRatoss");
new_event.SetInt("hint_timeout", 5); // how many seconds to hold the hint text?
new_event.SetString("hint_color", "255,0,0");// it does not support alpha, just "r,g,b" ( this format only);
new_event.Fire();
}

Right now it's 2 am for me and I'm tired. I just wanted to share this with you. I will update this post with a stock so it will be easier to display this kind of hint text.
If you want to contribute you can get all the data you need from here:
