AddWorldTip
AddWorldTip( number entindex = nil, string text, number dieTime = SysTime() + 0.05, Vector pos = ent:GetPos(), Entity ent = nil )
Description
This function creates a World Tip, similar to the one shown when aiming at a Thruster where it shows you its force.
This function will make a World Tip that will only last 50 milliseconds (1/20th of a second), so you must call it continuously as long as you want the World Tip to be shown. It is common to call it inside a Think hook.
Contrary to what the function's name implies, it is impossible to create more than one World Tip at the same time. A new World Tip will overwrite the old one, so only use this function when you know nothing else will also be using it.
See SANDBOX:PaintWorldTips for more information.
This function is only available in Sandbox and its derivatives
Arguments
1 number entindex = nil
This argument is no longer used; it has no effect on anything. You can use nil in this argument.
3 number dieTime = SysTime() + 0.05
This argument is no longer used; when you add a World Tip it will always last only 0.05 seconds. You can use nil in this argument.
4 Vector pos = ent:GetPos()
Where in the world you want the World Tip to be drawn. If you add a valid Entity in the next argument, this argument will have no effect on the actual World Tip.
5 Entity ent = nil
Which entity you want to associate with the World Tip. This argument is optional. If set to a valid entity, this will override the position set in
pos with the Entity's position.Example
Creates a World Tip where the player is looking. If the player is looking at an entity, the World Tip is positioned on the entity.
