Blurb Change Cross hair for every weapon ... and Customize :)

Detailed description

Basically run the code in the autoexec.cfg then goto multiplayer>crosshairs

If it runs slow then raise the Auto Check Weapon Cross hair slider.
If still then change the code as it is written in the comments.
If still GET A NEW COMPUTER ;) or leave a comment

===========================================================
@update 1
fixed errors
created a menu to shell the dynamic crosshairs
Reset functions should work :)
NOTE: overlays the crosshair gui that is in the original code, if you dont want this then change the name of the crosshair gui and then type exec data/menus.cfg in to the command line.

===========================================================
@revision 1
Added youtube video

Note: this is not a working version of code only a preview-use the cfg given below

//my menu

guistayopen [
normal = ( getCrossHairMenuInfo 0 )

Wouldn't it be better to (tell the user to) rebind their weapon fire/change keys to also set the new crosshair than to check every so often?

Just setweapon x; setWeaponCRH...

(Also, your code's kinda hard to read. It's generally a good idea to define things BEFORE you use them (i.e. setWeaponCRH), even when it's not necessary. And some names are cryptic--*CH, *CRH, *HT...)

this is a mess, you could simplify some things instead of making this pile of hardly understood code.

a simple example:

bind KEY [weapcross (= $wct)]
weapcross = [wct = $arg1; if $wct [loadcrosshair (format "packages/crosshairs/%1" (at $crosslist (getweapon))); sleep 1 [weapcross $wct]]]

@ragis
Your code would not work unless I redifined the crosshairs array (data/menus.cfg).

Ok I would have noted above but it is was late last nigh:
There are 2 ways to run the code through binds like you both have suggested and through my autochange comand. Problem with binding is that if you run out of amo the weapon auto switches but because I can not modify the set weapon command it will not change the CH. So the auto change fixes this problem. And if auto checks you do not need to have the binds :). But if you have a crapy computer runing that function ever 100 mm maybe a problem Hence the autochange sider. And if it's really crapy then binds will work.

As for var name here is a key:
Sh, Ch, Rk, Rf, Gr, Pi, Fi --- are all the weapons which are the same abbreviations used to setweapon.
no stands for normal or in edit mode
de stands for default only used to reset-- probly use when I expand--
Modifyers:
CH or CRH always means crosshair
HT means hit for the hit .png for the CH.
Size means the size of the cross hair.
The rest should explain itself

Hope this helps
Chasester

Ps: I will be coming out with a more polished version in a day or two

why the hell would you have to redefine the crosshairs array. you just specify your own crosshairs in the crosslist var in order of weapon. and unless you are running a 1995 computer (which wouldn't run sauer by any chance anyway) it will never have any lag problems. and yea, i forgot about the hit crosshair. though a single one wouldn't be bad actually, you don't really need 6 different hit crosshairs, do you?

i could always throw inside a check to avoid setting the same crosshair over and over during the loop to avoid any potential problems users with craptops could have. but that is not the point :|

If you are running a computer > 5 years old you can have some difficulty but for the average computer it fine.

Also if you try to video record it could cuz some problems.

To your comment:
Im not sure what you are getting at:
if you want to add crosshairs to the list go to data/menus.cfg and add them into the crosshairs array defined there (you will have to put in first the CH then the HIT)

As for 6 different crosshairs, its actually 8 but any way it is call customization it was just as ez to make 4 as 30. Plus most games have a different CH for every weapon :)

why dont you rewrite chasester's stuff?

RaZgRiZ | 2010-10-21 08:51

because chasester, whatever his skill in cubescript may be, has little experience in making things simple yet efficient without overdoing it. reading his script is a pain. understanding why he did things the way he did will be a bigger pain. if i have to rewrite it, then shot me right here.

if you insist that i rewrite this mess, i should first plead chasester that he goes on a long script commenting mission to save me the hours i'd spend to make sense out of this poorly formatted.. thing.

Chasester_aka_you | 2010-10-21 16:25

Lol

I'll do it
I'd luv to see how you would "clean up" my code :)

Ps can any figure out why my reset functions are not working thanks

srbs | 2010-10-21 19:46

Yes, remove the @'s. You don't know how to use them properly.

Chasester_aka_you | 2010-10-21 20:10

:) i did ran into so many error that why i put them there in the first place :)

you can try it without but the problem is that they tell the computer to convert a string such as $ShCH and tell it to convert it to a var or a pointer to a memory location. Example:

loadcrosshair (concatword "$" ( at $weapons (+ 1 (* (+ $i 1) 3 ) ) ) ) //returns error cannot load $PiCH
loadcrosshair @(concatword "$" ( at $weapons (+ 1 (* (+ $i 1) 3 ) ) ) ) //loads $PiCH as a var/no errors

I hope you realize that I know more about how cubescript works/acts/fails more than you can even fathom.

Now, you said "Ps can any figure out why my reset functions are not working thanks."
I answered JUST for that. Not your setWeaponCRH function, just the two reset functions.

About your @(concatword "$" (..)) :
I wonder if you know that you can just do:
(getalias (..)) //and not use any @ or concatword.

Also, for all those ($arg1) and ($i) you don't need the ()'s
And the only @'s you need (with the getalias above) are the ones in the guiimage.

Chasester_aka_you | 2010-10-21 22:46

thanx :)

I not saying I'm a master at cube code, or that i even know how the hell the bastardized languages works. When coding i run into more errors then fixes so whatever works first is what i used, only if it were as polished as a real language, but to expect such a notion would be stupid.

As for what you said I will change this, i thought it was weird that there was not a function for this. I understand that () are not needed in some places but it probably there cuz i was going to do a (+ var var ) or something along those lines and then figured i could do it differently. Im sorry about the last comment i thought you where talking about the code as whole, i did not look at the prev comments in the lengthly list of replies :)

Heh, i'm using it, works great with my custom crosshairs (onto), thanks ! :D

Chasester_aka_you | 2010-10-21 19:50

how do you have it set up:
Weapon
Size
CH
Mod

Calinou | 2010-10-22 08:01

Custom crosshairs, i've replaced the default crosshairs (except for the rifle hit and the chainsaw)
