This is not possible because players aren’t always at the same position of the screen. The Crosshair is alway in the middle of the screen, so you know where to show the Red Cross.

The only way this could work is a custom texture. But sv_pure 2 won’t allow you to use custom textures.

Aw sry my bad. I thought you meen some arrows above thier heads. I don’t play CoD bth.

The cross thingy should be possible though. You need some characters that gives you an “open X” for example using and / . I’m not a HUD-maker but i’m quite sure i works like this.

So you could, for example, make it a text popup on your hud, say bottom right, saying “hit!” everytime you hit someone? That’d be interesting.

Thanks a lot.

Theoretically, if you could make a font file where one letter would be looking like ‘hit!’, you could than add it to the hud overlay and make it’s color invisible, than in the animation file make it so that whenever you hit someone it sets the color to a different one than switches back to invisible.
I’m using this trick with circles: http://i.imgur.com/qenD2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ENUvL.jpg

Couldn’t you just use multiple characters..?

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

For me it would just probably be super distracting.

but its the new hot thing! everyone must use it

It’s like a 0.001 second flash up, to tell you you hit something, in case you missed it. It’s hardly “distracting”.

Thanks to slate for his help, i now have the word “hit!” coming up in big red letters near my crosshair everytime i hit something ;D, i toyed with the idea of making it say 8==D.

So, not only could you use this to change your xhair colour on hit, you could make it give you a cod like hit marker? Any explanation or anything people can give would be awesome.

So i actually implement this in all my huds because i play without sound when i pub and still wanna know if i hit them so here’s my explanation:
First you gonna need this font file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/32v9jtnp8gijx12/crtfc.ttf
put it into the resource folder of your hud
next go into the clientscheme and copy this: http://pastebin.com/Y91xwuQJ into the Fonts section
now scroll way to the bottom and paste this: http://pastebin.com/LYV0QKCA with the next following number.
now go under scripts/hudlayout.res and copy this into it: http://pastebin.com/W8EU7rJa
now go into hudanimations and paste this into it: http://pastebin.com/t8i5spw6
