Env hudhint

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

Note:In Left 4 Dead and later, the message will only show to the !activator unless it's singleplayer.

Note:In Garry's mod env_hudhint is removed.

Flags

• 1: All Players (removed since ) - Show the message to everyone on the server (otherwise show to !activator only)

Keyvalues

This should be match a HUD hint entry in hl2\resource\valve_english.txt or its localized equivalent. Example: entering "#Valve_Hint_Zoom" (without the quotation marks) will display the following hint text: "%+zoom% ZOOM VIEW", with %+zoom% being the key currently bound to the zoom function.

Warning:Entering raw text will not allow the message to be translated between user languages.
