Oh.... very nice and special


Maybe you don’t need to see yourself talking, so too many prompts are displayed and the screen looks messy

[Silvers]

Players can disable instructor hints, you should query their convar to verify it works for them, otherwise you're just blocking chat messages to them.

Great plugin, hope it helps player notice teammate when I say "HELP!"

I have a question not related to this plugin.
How do you make AI bots chat in your Intro Videos?

PHP Code:

/do Coach "say no Way"
