Trying to create Hints

[livid egret]

I have a problem with HintService-Meow. (or LabApi IDK) my plugin loaded but hint not created. What's problem?

why is Age yellow highlighted?

private static void OnSpawnedTest(PlayerSpawnedEventArgs ev)
{
Task.Delay(2000);

    System.Random random = new System.Random();
    PlayerDisplay playerDisplay = PlayerDisplay.Get(ev.Player);
    playerDisplay.ClearHint();
    int Age = random.Next(20, 70);
    ev.Player.CustomInfo = "Test: " + Age;
    Hint hint = new Hint
    {
        Text = "Test",
        FontSize = 25,
        YCoordinate = 1000,
        Alignment = HintAlignment.Center
    };
    playerDisplay.AddHint(hint);
}

this worked for me

just changed some stuff

[oblique moss]

never use Task.Delay

[lyric totem]

why

[oblique moss]

it freezes the whole thread for that duration

meaning everyone will desync

[lyric totem]

ohh

will this desync it?

private async Task HideHintAfterDelayAsync(Hint hint, PlayerDisplay playerDisplay)
{
    await Task.Delay(2500);

    hint.Hide = true;
    playerDisplay.RemoveHint(hint);
}

[oblique moss]

just use Timing.CallDelayed 😭

[lyric totem]

cant find Timing

[lyric totem]

ok

[nimble wigeon]

Task.Delay does nothing here

Because JetBrains Rider doesn't like that the 'A' in "Age" is capitalized

[atomic dock]

The first step would probably be trying to see if you can display a more simple hint
Like writing "Test" to the player's screen

[barren pike]

oh my gosh

writing int Age in a method

is evil

[atomic dock]

Dude let me show you something that infuriates me about rider

One sec I've gotta put away groceries first
