Help! Hint system.

[Frozendairy]

if SERVER then
	util.AddNetworkString("SendHints")

	local hintDelay = 1200

	hook.Add("Initialize", "SendHints", function()
		timer.Create("SendHints", hintDelay, 0, function()
			 //send the message to display the hint.
			net.Start("SendHints")
			net.Broadcast()
		end)
	end)
else
	//Definitions
	local hintsRussian = {
		"Something something",
		"Something somethingelse"
	}

	local hintsEnglish = {
		"Purge is un-active!",
		"Purge is active!"
	}

	net.Receive("SendHints", function()
		local isrus = GetConVarString("gmod_language") == "ru"
		local msg = "No hints!"
		
		if isrus then
			local ran = math.random(1, #hintsRussian)
			msg = hintsRussian[ran]
		else
			local num = math.random(1, #hintsEnglish)
			msg = hintsEnglish[num]
		end

		chat.AddText(Color( 50, 255, 50 ), "[Purge] ", Color( 255, 255, 255 ), msg ) //show the message;
	end)
end

This system now shows a message for everyone at the same time, but doesn't show the same message for everyone, how can this be fixed, please help!

By not randomizing the num variable.

Try this:

if SERVER then 

    util.AddNetworkString("Language") 

end

if CLIENT then

    net.Start("Language")
        net.WriteString(GetConVarString("gmod_language"))
    net.SendToServer()
    
end

if SERVER then

    local hintsRussian = {
		"Something something",
		"Something somethingelse"
	}

	local hintsEnglish = {
		"Purge is un-active!",
		"Purge is active!"
	}
    
    local hintDelay = 10
    
    net.Receive("Language", function(len, ply)
    
        local language = net.ReadString()
        
    end)
    
	util.AddNetworkString("SendHints")

	hook.Add("Initialize", "SendHints", function()
		timer.Create("SendHints", hintDelay, 0, function()
			net.Start("SendHints")
                if language == "ru" then
                    net.WriteString(hintsRussian[math.random(1, #hintsRussian)])
                else
                    net.WriteString(hintsEnglish[math.random(1, #hintsEnglish)])
                end
			net.Broadcast()
		end)
	end)
end

if CLIENT then

	net.Receive("SendHints", function()

		chat.AddText(Color( 50, 255, 50 ), "[Purge] ", Color( 255, 255, 255 ), net.ReadString() )
        
	end)
    
end

The System does not display the message, only "[Purge]"

Ok, so, I'm not trying to be rude at all when I say this, and I'll try and look into your issue, but you have made several threads in the last day regarding this, maybe it's time you try to do some debuging on your own instead replying here saying "here's the error, fix it".
