Hi everyone, im working the halo reach weapon tag set, i have to say: i'm not working OS, but i want to animate the crosshairs using planes into the fp gbxmodel, now, the animation works good but i want to know if should i use a script to set the change colors at the crosshair and what shader should i use?

This is the work until now...

That magnum looks pretty bad imo.

Ignore him he's just an idiot that won't leave and harasses everyone. To be blunt an to the point I don't believe that Crosshair animations are possible even with OS.

O rly? U mad brah?.

all you have to do is put a plane and the crosshair texture on that plane, then give it a node. Scale the plane during animation and the rest is just setting up the shaders

you could contact Jesse about his method of doing it too. which is also being used in SPV3 iirc.

You don't want to use FP animations for reticule bloom, it doesn't work when you scope in and has to be manually edited to match your weapons error cooldown. I think Jesse is working on a tut for how to do it with multitex overlays and heat, which is what we use for SPV3, which is a much better way of doing it.

Wow! I love it man! Very smooth! 69/1

Not bad, not bad!

Things that could be improved are the fire animations, and the starting point of the ready animation. The magnum should be coming up from the bottom of the screen (pistols are usually holstered near the legs)

You should make another fire animation, so you won't see the same one again and again.

Crit:
- I feel like the magnum should be moving a bit more in the moving.
- Put some more kickback onto that firing.
- Just the overall origin, why is there distance between the left hand and the weapon? I think you could close that gap a bit more.
- Don't make the pistol completely still during the melee.

That's all I can make out of it by looking over it briefly.
