Do you recommend using hints even though they are deprecated or just use a gui.

I recommend using a gui since it is super simple to setup in general.

Ok, I was just seeing if anyone still used hints in 2018
I have used them in the past, both Hint and Message. But since they are depricated now, I have been slowly converting them to my own custom gui, along with converting all guis to custom gui’s for that matter, such as playerlist, backpack, chat, etc…
Those still exist? Man, that takes me back.
The only times I ever use Hint is for extremely quick testing and I don’t want to flood my console with prints, never use them in production though.

I would say use what you want Players won’t care, if it’s fun and functional then it’s ok but if it looks great but not fun and functional then you got a problem.
Deprecated just means there is something better to use and if a Bug or Glitch happens the Engineers wouldn’t bother to fix it.
I remember when there was a grey box with white text that would appear at the top left; I think that was the earliest form of the Message object prior to it becoming the grey box that fills the entire screen.

That was from putting the Message in the camera or the chat I think.
