Thread closed

Hi all, i am a newbie and wanna ask about "hints" and messages that appeared in warcraft games. Like for example, if u start playing a certain campaign, sometimes a message will appear " hint: bla bla bla..." after 10 seconds or so. My question is how to create this kind of messages in the trigger editor?

Any help provided will be greatly appreciately.

I recommend using

• Quest - Display to (All players) the Hint message: Message

Because the Hint sound will be played then.
