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 clientint 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.
