I just need if you know a script or a function for ArmA that makes this:

At the proper command (eg. a trigger, or pressing 0-0-2) opens a page of text inside the mission, where you can see some notes.

Thanks in advance. tiredsmiley.gif

Hello

I don't see why you would need a trigger to do this? You can already display notes in the Briefing Document (You can view the mission briefing by opening up your map (default button: M). I suggest you try Arma Edit, to edit the briefing section of your mission, which can be found on this website.

Use the "HintC" command.

It's like the plain ol' hint command, but the hint is shown in a pop-up box (like in windows), it also pauses the game giving the player time to read the note.

Format is:
CODE
HintC "This is a song; it's a chutney; chutney, chutney chutney chutneeeeeeeeeeey!"

Any clean and easy way to make the hint disappear again after a short time?

I tried all variations with a radio-command activated hint, hintC and hintCadet, all of them would stay in the upper left corner without disappearing.

They will stay there for around 30 seconds. But if you want them to disappear, type:

CODE
hint ""


You might not want to do this though, if the player wants to repeat the hint with the H key (If it's important).
