Its already set to show 4 hints per question -

quote:
TrivEx._Sets.shownhints = 4 -- Stands for how many Hints are displayed (May not be totally accurate)


However this wont apply if the answer is only a few letters long.

If you want more hints raise the above setting, you could also change the following to reveal 1 character rather than 2 at a time.

quote:
TrivEx._Sets.revealedchars = 2 -- Stands for how many chars are revealed per hint.

hi toobster, actually i also tried the script given by scripter but even if i set TrivEx._Sets.shownhints = 4 to 8 and TrivEx._Sets.revealedchars = 2 to 1, same problem is there. U just check it. Smile

Tx Toobster, now the script is working....

Well, is there any option in this script by which if players are not active then Trivia will automatically stop after some time.

I guess you never looked Tongue

quote:

TrivEx._Sets.autostop = nil -- nil when no autostop, 1 - endless, when you want the script to stop after a certain number of unanswered questions

Surely the point of the quiz is to get max points when you guess fast and less points for the longer you take with more hints.If you were to disable it that would mean you will get full points no matter how long it takes to guess.
