Not that I know of, and this is completely unrelated to chat and is client-sided.

You should make the hint come up from the bottom of the screen. Otherwise, nice!

Do you mean an animation where it pops up from the bottom? If so, this isn’t possible because we use a UIListLayout for the hint layout.

Very nice module, definitely going to use this for my game!
Also I have a small question though, are we able to add offsets to hints?

Is it possible to get the old style hint with this?

#90

For now, use Instance.new("Hint"). But I will be taking your request into consideration.

#91

There seems to be some issue which I can’t really seem to work out. Do you know whats causing this?

Interesting….
I would like to see more stuff like this :slight_smile:

#93

Sorry about that! Thats a mistake on my end. Try changing it to :broadcast()

#94

That worked like a charm. Thank you! I will definitely consider using this system as it is pretty easy to use

#95

I don’t want to do that because its deprecated…

#96

Okay, seems like I found out another problem with this system. when I set the :broadcast() to true, it gives me this error:

Thanks for the report! Will be fixing soon.

#98

I know. This is just a bandaid solution for now.

Should be fixed! You will be auto kicked from studio play testing when a new version is available.

Hey, I figured it out! Thanks for not telling me because it felt nice to learn it by myself I shouldn’t have asked for an in-depth tutorial on remote events because that’s not what this is about it about the module not how to use remote events and me asking you for the answers was not the right move I sometimes forget that the DevForum isn’t a place for all the answers it’s a place to learn how to get those answers on your own. I’m going to delete the stuff that’s taking up space on this post though.
Also love this, helps me so much with my games.

Thank you, Thothboy

This looks quite good, but I wouldn’t use the API to replace the legacy “Hint” instance, I would rather use the system I made for simpler stuff like that. This is more of a “stacked notification service”.

You said to use the deprecated hint object for now, but you also said:

I think you should be a little clearer in the description.
