arcantarget_hint(3) Arcan Lua API arcantarget_hint(3) NAME arcantarget_hint - Send a hint state through a frameserver tied to an arcan instance SYNOPSIS bool:ok arcantarget_hint( string:kind, tbl:hint ) arcantarget_hint( vid:fsrv, string:kind, tbl:hint ) DESCRIPTION When the arcan-in-arcan platform is used (arcan_lwa binary) it can forward hints like any normal arcan-shmif client. These are from a subset of the ones that can be found in launch_target . If fsrv is not provided, the de- fault output, WORLDID , will be used. Otherwise it is expected that fsrv references a valid frameserver tied to a valid source from define_arcantar- get or retrieved through the _adopt event handler. The currently supported ones are: * input_label and the format of the hint table matches that of the description in launch_target . * ident with a string:message field in hint , provided as the new segment runtime identity (e.g. document name) * alert with a string:message field in hint , provided as the reason for user attention * statesize with a int:size field in hint , provided as the esti- mated current output size of a state-save * cursor with a string:style matching the set in launch_target EXAMPLE function arcantarget_hint0() arcantarget_hint("input_label", { labelhint = "test", description = "this should register as a digital button", }) end EXAMPLE function arcantarget_hint1() arcantarget_hint("cursor", {style = "move"}) end SEE ALSO: targetcontrol August 2026 arcantarget_hint(3)
