You need to copy the hint texts from QCZM... copying the function itself wouldn't suffice. When the player spawns, create a HUD string element called self.hint or similar. Search _rank.gsc, under createplayerhud() and dohudcontrol(). PM me the code and I'll fix it for you when I get home. Currently in school on phone now, so yea - cant reply to PMs.

is this it?

		self.hint = "";

No, no. You actually have to create the element on the player during spawn, destroy it on death and need a function to regulate the hint text. Check createplayerhud(), dohudcontrol() and destroyondeath().

I'll I see is
self.hinttext = "";

[[MPGH]master131]

doHUDControl() 
{
    	self.HintText = self createFontString( "objective", 1.25 );
	self.HintText setPoint( "CENTER", "CENTER", 0, 50 );
        self thread destroyOnDeath(self.HintText);
        self endon("death");
        self endon("disconnect");
        while(1) {
                self.HintText setText(self.hint);
	        self.hint = "";
                wait .5;
        }
}

destroyOnDeath(elem)
{
    self waittill("death");
    elem destroy();
}

How can we know the problem if we do not know the code? We're not magical, you know, with the ability to guess your code's functions.

Check the... nvm.
