env_hudhint is a logical entity available in all Source Source games. (not in Garry's Mod)


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

Hint Text (localized) (message) <string>
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.pngWarning:Entering raw text will not allow the message to be translated between user languages.
Note.pngNote:In Team Fortress 2 and potentially other games, the % character interacts differently with text. Displaying keybinds found in the resource folder may force any text after the % character to display on a new line.
