Tips - Jay - 09-28-2009
Las Venturas Playground has a lot of features. For new players starting out, it's really hard. Heck, even regulars don't know about every feature (such as /deliver and the Car Crusher
)I suggest we show random tips in a small textdraw at the bottom of the players screen. We only need one global textdraw for it. A tip should be in small font, and should show every 3 minutes for about 10 seconds. Players should be able to disable them using /my tips (which should save). They should only show when the player is driving around doing nothing, not when they're in minigames or whatever. Crazybobs has this feature and it makes things so much easier!
This should have a high priority because a lot of players won't know what 2.91 has to offer when we release it.

I agree, great idea. And allow it to be handled from anywhere like Niews:
Code:
ShowTip(playerid, "Jay is on the sex offenders register, stay away from him.");^^

What about random pickups around Las Venturas? They can be tips, and also it could be an achievement, such as, you have found 40 tips so far!
Re: Tips - FiXeR - 09-28-2009
That's a good idea, but they should be very easy to find
Re: Tips - tomozj - 09-28-2009
I think that moves away from the idea that it's simply easily obtainable information from different parts of LVP for new players - how would a new player know to find these tips around LV?
I think it should just be a tex tdraw which gives you information on the task you are currently doing.
