Crosshair without aim line

Unread post by Wesley » Fri Apr 24, 2020 8:38 am

For me, in third person, the crosshair won't appear ever unless the aim line is turned on. I don't want an aim line. What do I do?

It's not possible to disable the aim line without modding the game.

well basiclly every game engine got a value and code to active aiming system in the for example UPROPERTY(EditDefaultsOnly)
UTexture2D* CrosshairTexture;
// Primary draw call for the HUD.
virtual void DrawHUD() override;
void AFPSHUD::DrawHUD()
{
Super::DrawHUD();

if (CrosshairTexture)
{
// Find the center of our canvas.
FVector2D Center(Canvas->ClipX * 0.5f, Canvas->ClipY * 0.5f);

// Offset by half of the texture's dimensions so that the center of the texture aligns with the center of the Canvas.
FVector2D CrossHairDrawPosition(Center.X - (CrosshairTexture->GetSurfaceWidth() * 0.5f), Center.Y - (CrosshairTexture->GetSurfaceHeight() * 0.5f));

// Draw the crosshair at the centerpoint.
FCanvasTileItem TileItem(CrossHairDrawPosition, CrosshairTexture->Resource, FLinearColor::White);
TileItem.BlendMode = SE_BLEND_Translucent;
Canvas->DrawItem(TileItem);
}
}

I'm not bothered by it then, I just thought I was missing the setting somehow. It's an odd feature.

Sooner we the hidden squad will re new things in the game and we might add cross instead of aim line because we got the source code of the game. :)

A little tip of the day:
Take a very small piece of white tape, glue it in the middle of your screen and you'll have permanent crosshair in every fullscreen game... ;)

This was good for counter strike funny01
but in 3rd person aiming the cross is not in the middle.
The source code is also not needed to deactivate it. It can be deactivated using the editor.
If no body likes the aim line i can disable it in my mod.

And how you would use mounted weapons then? Spray and pray?

Tank cannons and mounted weapons in HD2 are center-oriented.

I ran some quick test in H&D Deluxe with mounted MG on a halftrack - without aim line it is really hard to aim precisely since there are no iron sights. Most weapons in H&D 2 have iron sights.

The cross is still visible, only the aim line is invisible.
