Have Gun Flash Alpha work like:
ACTOR ShaBlahBlahBlah : Weapon
{
Flash.Alpha 0.5
........

Also add a code pointer for the gun flash to change alpha. Should be something like "A_ChangeFlash('Transparantcy,Add,or any other thing like that','Alpha')".

And Custom Weapon Crosshairs that have the transparantcy stuff like the original cross hairs. Also have custom color for it.
ACTOR HooAhh : Weapon
{
Weapon.CrossHair 'Insert Lump name here'
Weapon.CrossHairColor 'Insert Color numbers(00 00 00) here'
...............
Maybe even add a custom alpha for it.
ACTOR ImTiredOfTyping : Weapon
{
Weapon.CrossHairAlpha 'Insert Alpha Here'
.................

My fingers are starting to cramp

Flash.Alpha sounds nice but i'm not sure about the others.

What's wrong with custom crosshairs? Do you really want a shotgun to have a little + or a nice, big O? I personally would prefer a nice big O for the spread. I already made several new cross hairs, which, I forgot to put on my thumb drive to put on here and I don't wanna turn on my computer right now.

I don't want anyone forcing their crosshair on me.

Me neither.

Only flash.alpha is worth to have but forcing crosshair on player sucks!

There could be an option to disable Dynamic Crosshairs.

I'm indifferent on custom crosshairs. I really don't care what crosshair I get, personally, as long as nobody forces me to turn them off altogether.

Cant you already made the flash states sprites additive transparent by A_SetTranslucent(value,1)?

Post by **Paul** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 19:48

Wouldn't that make the entire gun translucent?

It shouldn't O_o. You only do it for the flash state by soemthing like this:

{
Flash:
BLAH A 0 Bright A_SetTranslucent(0.67,1)
BLAH A 3 Bright A_Bright1
BLAH B 3 Bright A_Bright2
BLAH C 3 Bright A_Bright0
stop
}

Personally I'd like to see crosshairs that could be allocated to a certain weapon. I've got quite a few crosshairs and would love to be able to dynamically change them with the weapons. Console scripts just don't cut it for this.

All you'd need is an option to disable dynamic crosshairs. Several games do this as it is.
Personaly, I like the idea of having a crosshair for each weapon.

Yeah, it worked fine in Half-life.
