Author Topic: Animated Crosshairs?  (Read 2550 times)

Is it possible to make crosshairs out of gif files?

If not, is it possible to make an add-on that can? (like a plug-in that lets you have gif crosshairs)

I just thought it would be way cooler than any normal crosshair. Even though we do have too many, This would be different...

You can only use PNG's, But you can keep changing the PNG's, Creating an animation

Alternatively you can remove the base crosshair and replace it with a GuiAnimatedBitmapCtrl, but it'll show up in third person and look terrible/not work right there.

i imagine a crosshair that turns red when aimed at an enemy, and green if turned to a team mate, white when you point at nothing

but if it turns red and there's a cloaked spy around, it's gonna be cheap as hell

oh wait, this might be a LITTLE different

Your idea is different and somewhat more practical.
There is a also a way to avoid players to detect cloacked people.

How else do you think zombies don't attack cloacked people? ;)

What woould you do with an 'animated' crosshair.
Crosshairs are mostly static images so the crosshair won't distract you.

It would be cool if someone made a gun that spread after firing a lot, so as it spreads, so does the crosshair.

If we do this, use the default crosshair.

Use the default cross hair,But it turns a little bigger when the gun shoots. Like in FPS Games. And make a little dot in the middle of the crosshair.

all redy made

yes, it's on the ui dumping ground, but it's complicated to install and distracting as hell when in use

Theres a pack of animated crosshairs somewhere in the ui edit dumping topic, but they show up in third person and act weird.

Right hiah.
