This command must be executed after mission start. If you place it into init.sqs or init field of some unit, it will not work. Just add a little delay (~0.001) and the place the command.

HintC can be used with formatting like this: HintC format["Hello %1",player]

To display multiple messages after another you have to add a small delay in between. Otherwise only the first message will be displayed. hintC "foo"; sleep 0.1; hintC "bar"; Without a sleep statement hintC will not suspend the script it has been called from.
