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

"Titled" hintC all use display #72 while "untitled" one uses display #57. If you are trying examples in Arma 3 debug console, add little delay like this:
[] spawn {sleep 0.5; ....your example code goes here ...};
or no hintC will be displayed.
