    @brief
        Represents a hint in the game that gives aid towards completing a @ref orxonox::Quest "Quest".
        Consists of title and description (which is stored in a @ref orxonox::QuestDescription "QuestDescription" object) in textual form and must belong to a quest.
        A QuestHint has a defined status (inactive or active, where inactive is default) for each player, which means each a QuestHint exists only once for all players, it doesn't belong to a player, it just has different states for each of them.

        Creating a QuestHint through XML goes as follows:
        @code
        <QuestHint id="hintId">
            <QuestDesctription title="" description="" />
        </QuestHint>
        @endcode
