Static Hint Messages

Post by Soviet » April 8th, 2010, 8:20 pm

Every map uses these, but I can't really look at them since they're compiled, so how would I go about making a trigger that prints a message at the bottom of the screen; the type that stays there as long as you are touching the trigger_multiple but disappears as soon as you aren't? I know it's something very simple, I just can't find the command.

Examples would be the beginning mp_rocket and various areas in mp_cleopatra.

make a triggerbox, the area were you get the message on the screen.

Push 'N'

classname trigger_use_touch
hintstring ^1We love mapping

that will do it.

(hintstring = the message)
Simple as that Soviet :P
