How to block the hints?

[Radical Batz]

So you know those hints which when you pick up a tinder box it will show you a hint about it, and when you're in darkness it will show you a hint about it! Yeah, you know what I'm talkin about.

So I made a voice intro and I gave the player 3 tinderboxes already as a beginning but the tinderboxes hint appears in the voice acting scene and I don't want that, I know what the code to block hints

PHP Code: (Select All)

BlockHint("PickTinderbox"); 


But the problem is, what's the name of the hint I wanna block? How the heck should I know?

I don't know where I can find the names of the hints to block them! anybody knows? pls?

Take a look in the english.lang in the config folder. You'll find it there. Or perhaps base_english.lang, but I think it's the first one.

Edit: It looks like what you put should be the correct one.

base_english.lang has this:

Code: (Select All)

<Entry Name="PickTinderbox">Tinderboxes are used to light candles and other light sources in the enviroment. The current amount of Tinderboxes is shown in Inventory ($ButInventory).</Entry>

I tried to make this

PHP Code: (Select All)

BlockHint("PickTinderbox"); 


but didn't work :/

Did you try RemoveHint("PickTinderbox"); maybe?

[Radical Batz]

Did you try RemoveHint("PickTinderbox"); maybe?

I did that too after I removed the block hint and did that instead, but still nothing! :/

Here is my example from Premonition.

Spoiler below!

PHP Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
BlockHint("DarknessDecrease");
BlockHint("EntityGrab");
BlockHint("EntityLever");
BlockHint("EntityPush");
BlockHint("EntitySlide");
BlockHint("EntitySwingDoor");
BlockHint("EntityWheel");
BlockHint("PickLantern");
BlockHint("PickOil");
BlockHint("PickTinderbox");
BlockHint("QuestAdded");
BlockHint("RecentlyReadText");
BlockHint("SanityHit");
BlockHint("SanityLow");
BlockHint("Hints");    
BlockHint("EnemySeen");
}

How does it work and where do i get the functions from?
Here is how it works;
The HINTS are placed in the base_english.lang
Here is where the hints are starting:
( for me ) somewhere at line 538.

PHP Code: (Select All)

</CATEGORY>
  <CATEGORY Name="Hints">
    <Entry Name="SanityAdd">As you make progress or pick up important items, you'll recover some lost sanity.</Entry>
Etcetera,etcetera...

Extra information;
IF you want the hints to appear again at... another map for example, Easely do this ( example )

PHP Code: (Select All)

UnBlockHint("DarknessDecrease");
UnBlockHint("EntityGrab");
UnBlockHint("EntityLever");
UnBlockHint("EntityPush");
UnBlockHint("EntitySlide");
Etcetera,etcetera...
Hint: What i did, just put those (UnBlockHints) into voidOnLeave() so the hint(s) show(ed) up in the next map.

Yes, but that didn't work apparently, unless the BlockHint() was not in OnStart()...
