<function name="AddWorldTip" parent="Global" type="libraryfunc"> <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.&lt;br /&gt; See <page>SANDBOX:PaintWorldTips</page> for more information.
