Hints aren't really supported anymore, it's best if you just use a thin textlabel.

The reason is because the Text Property is a variable. When you set a property as a variable it sets the variable as the value so doing this is basically saying "Message" = "Message2", which will error. This is a common mistake with all developers will probably make at least once.


#Final Product

local hint = Instance.new("Hint", workspace)
hint.Text = "Getting The Game Ready"

Hope it helps!
