How do I display the "%" symbol without it assuming I want to reference a variable?

I've tried both

PrintHintText(client, "100%%");

And

PrintHintText(client, "100%s", "%");

But none of these things worked properly.

"%%" should work.

It doesn't though.

I had an experience with this. When a string containing "%%" gets copied (either with strcopy or Format) over a few times, it outputs a weird behavior with PrintHintText.
There is a workaround to this by using other unicode symbols.

Try these:﹪(small) or ％ (full width).

"%%" will send one percent to the server as part of the hint text, but the server may be doing further processing. On some games if you print things like "%use%" in hint text, it gets replaced with the user's actual key bind.

It's been answered before. Put 3 % symbols.

Thanks, ％ works nicely in hint-text!

Hint text is displayed in HTML, to print % in hint text it's

PHP Code:

& # 3 7 ; 


(remove spaces, keeps changing to %) %
