Heh, that wouldn't be too bad.
No, your spelling is mostly right. It's just the grammar and sentence structure that's a bit odd which makes the context difficult to grasp. I can tell English isn't your native language. I'm guessing you're setting up your sentences with your native language's structure, because I know very well myself that those things happen (I'm not a native English-speaker either).

GiveHint("", "Messages", "diary1", "0"); another problem, need help
void GiveHint (string& asName, string& asMessageCat, string& asMessageEntry, float afTimeShown);
this script doesn't work, maybe I wrote something wrong? gives the message : no matching signatures...

Your last argument should not use quotes. The 0 is treated as a string, instead of a float like it's supposed to be.

Yes, that works, but sometimes hint are not showed second time. Maybe I need to disable default game hints about darkness sanity drain or about how to move objects and rotate? for this purpose I have to use BlockHint but I don't know how to disable default hints, is there somebody who knows how? Or maybe an alternative solution?
Thank you anticipated.

I think if I remember correctly, you do use BlockHint(); and use it in conjunction with the internal lang name of the hint which can be found in base_english.lang.
For example, if I didn't want to see the hint:
HINT:You need to find a lantern before one can be turned on.
Then I would have to find its corresponding 'hint' dialogue in base_english.lang, which in this case is LanternNoItem. (All hints can be found in the category called "Hints".)
Hence, my code would be:
PHP Code:
OnStart();
{
BlockHint("LanternNoItem");
}
You can test this certain one by not having a lantern and just pressing F. If you don't see any hint text, congrats! It works and I was right without testing it! ^^ Should it work, then you have the detrimental task of blocking all the hints by copy-pasting the rest of the hint names. I believe also that you only need to call them in OnStart(); of your first map. Any more than that would be inefficient coding. If you are using a Global.hps though, it may be of use to also use it in OnGameStart(); but I have no idea how global.hps works.
Otherwise, I am not too sure.
Edit: Also, you can call a ShowHint(); at any time if you need to have the hint show more than once. You're best to use it at a specific moment though, rather than having it appear constantly.

RE: [Updated thread] Need help - Catalyst - 02-08-2015
ShowHint function doesn't exists, unfortunately,but I removed all needless hints. But some of my hints sometime doesn't appear. Maybe you know the reason why they are not showing up second time when I trigger them on collide or else?
RE: [Updated thread] Need help - Mudbill - 02-08-2015
Perhaps hints only show up the first time? Maybe they're made to not show again if they've already been displayed.
