You already have dingaling and damage numbers. How hard is it to tell if you hit someone? :P

nvm

So basically hitmarker for TF2? I want my HUD crosshair (M0recross) to pulse in red when I hit someone! Someone do it for me cause I can’t. :(

Edit: Quote from the update.

Added “DamagedPlayer” animation event for the HUD, fired when the local player damages other players

Go to tf folder, open scripts/hudAnimations_tf.txt

go to where it has
event DamagedPlayer
{
//empty
}

replace with
event DamagedPlayer
{
Animate M0rexhairCross FgColor "255 0 0 255" Linear 0.0 0.00001
Animate M0rexhairCross FgColor "255 255 255 255" Linear 0.15 0.15001
}

If you want to change the length of time of the flash, it’s the 0.15 0.15001, just change them until you like it. E.g. 0.5 0.5001 etc.

Edit for grammar

With Bryn’s event.

How would you do this with PVhud and the default crosshair?

You can’t. This works with HUD crosshairs because the animation is triggered by an event in the HUD animations file, whereas the color of regular crosshairs is altered with cvars (which can not be called at a HUD event).

could you superimpose something over the normal xhair though?

I don’t really see how this is useful :/

For me it would just probably be super distracting.
