Hint's are deprecated now, so they don't show up in the object browser. Although I believe you can still create them with an instance.new command.

Hints were never in basic objects, unless I am blind.

You can only instance them.

I tried that, but I guess I don't know the command or something.

h = instance.New "Hint"
h.Parent = Workspace

That wasn't working for me.

local h = Instance.new("Hint")
h.Name = "Hint"
h.Parent = game.

Sorry, got cut off, you would put this in command bar.

local h = Instance.new("Hint")
h.Name = "Hint"
h.Parent = game.Workspace

Don't complicate yourself s

local h=Instance.new("Hint",workspace)

I also confirmed that it doesn't have to be local to work, simply

Instance.new("Hint",workspace)

will work.

Local is just a scope to separate strings inside functions.

what you did wrong was the caps, and you forgot () surrounding hint.
every thing else was fine.

h = instance.New "Hint"
h.Parent = Workspace

That wasn't working for me.


Instance. and new, not instance and New

also why are you trying to make a name for that function? so you can help to localize it?

to localize any instance you simply put a , after the " in whatever you want to spawn to direct it,

Instance.new("Hint", workspace)
