Env hudhint: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:22, 20 July 2009

Template:Base point It is an entity to control the display of HUD hints, which show the player what key is bound to a particular command.

Hint Text (localized) <string>: This should be match a HUD hint entry in hl2\resource\valve_english.txt or its localized equivalent. Example: entering "Valve_Hint_Zoom" will display the following hint text: "%+zoom% ZOOM VIEW", with %+zoom% being the key currently bound to the zoom function.
Warning:If an unlocalized string (ex. "%+zoom% ZOOM VIEW" instead of "Valve_Hint_Zoom") is typed directly in editor, Hammer will become confused the next time the VMF is loaded and freeze!

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]: The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report. See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities
