Hints

Hints allow you to create hints for the player in case they get stuck.  


ADRIFT Developer must not be in Simple Mode for the Hints button to be visible on the main toolbar.


The Hints editing window looks like this:



You can enter a question at the top which is matched to a question asked by the player when they want a hint.


The subtle hint is shown first, then if the player asks for another hint for the same question then they will be shown the really obvious hint.


Restrictions can be used to limit when the hint can be shown, and alternative descriptions can be used with either the subtle or obvious text box to vary the hint given to the player depending on other restrictions.


Although you can create hints in Developer, they have not yet been implemented in Runner.
