Changing crosshair via ACS?

[Bilbö Bägginson]

Is it possible to set crosshair or change its scale or transparency via ACS?

I don't think it's possible in ACS unless you fake it with HUDMessages. Even then, you'd probably be better off using ZScript instead.

Okey, but can I set crosshair outside of weapon states. I dont know zscript at all, sorry if it`s stupid

You can provide replacement graphics (basically null textures) for the existing internal engine crosshairs, and then HudMessage your own in onto the middle of the screen.

Yeah, I was thinking about this, but then useless crosshair-settings will still be in options menu. It is not quiet good-looking for standalone project I make. But If there is no other way to hide crosshair, I`ll do so.
Thanks

That'd be considered very rude, though. The only 'legal' way to override the crosshair is to attach one to your weapons. But the advice still stands to only do this when the weapon demands it, e.g. a sniper rifle.

ok, have Handled it setting a crosshair to the one I made with void sprite.

Code: Select all

    NOHUD:
	  TNT1 A 0 A_SetCrosshair(14)
	 NOHUD1: 
	  TNT1 A 1
	  TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIfInventory("NOHUD", 1, "NOHUD1")
	 Ready:
	  TNT1 A 0 
	  TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIfInventory("NOHUD", 1, "NOHUD")
