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: (Select All)

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.
