Hud Crosshair Help?

Currently using minmode to swap my hud crosshairs but it's somewhat of a pain since I also use that to alternate between normal and 6v6 scoreboard so i'm attempting to use the achievementtracker method but for some reason it's not working.

Link to Achievement method: http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/4134-how-to-use-multiple-hud-crosshairs

Not sure if it's possible to use this method to hide crosshairs since I plan to have this crosshair for scout and other hitscan classes:

and this one for projectile classes

I've figured out how to get achievement crosshairs to work (Thanks trog) but I have no idea how i'd remove a different crosshair or get animations to work on the crosshair in the HudAchievementTrackerItem.res file

you can only toggle a crosshair on/off with the achievement tracker method as far as i know. i don't think animations work with the achievement tracker method, at least i haven't been able to get them to work.

in your case you could probably use the cl_hud_minmode crosshair method

I was using that before but since I use minmode to change scoreboards it was causing all sorts of problems.

I think I figured out how I could make this acheivement crosshair thing work but i'm missing one part that I cannot figure out how to do.

What I plan to do is have the small green cross have a high z value so that it will be infront of basically everything on the hud, then have the circle be a much much lower value. Now when achievement tracker is turned on i'd have the konrwings be at the same level as the green cross but i'd need to make a panel that would cover up the circle crosshair but still be transparant. I've seen this done on other huds but i'm not sure how i'd go about doing it.

just use minmode 1 and minmode 0 to have two crosshairs. you need to set it up though.

on another note, are you sharing your crosshair + wings?

minmode doesnt work cause I use minmode to change scoreboards. If you want these crosshairs they're all in broselhud but if you want my specific settings I could upload them for you. Also i'd still have the same problem I have now with not being able to cover up the original hud crosshair.

This is what i've got right now. What I want to do is have that white square be transparant but still cover up elements that are under it.

The fgcolor of the box is most likely 255 255 255 255. The first numbers are what make up the color white. The last color is transparency, so change that from 255 to a number between 0-255 to your liking. To still have the square be on top of everything, make sure the zpos is higher than the zpos of the other crosshairs. For example, if the cross's zpos was 4 and the wings's zpos was 3, edit the zpos of the square to be 5 or higher. Hope this helped!

If I make that box transparant you can still see the circle crosshair under it

What I am trying to do is have the box be transparnt but somehow still coverup the crosshair circle element. I've seen it done before but i'm not sure how i'd go about doing it.

If you can upload your config, thatd be great. I dont wanna go searching through broselhud. Also you use both scoreboards? you can just make both minmode use a single scoreboard you want, either 6v6 or 12v12 etc

That's what I ended up doing, I changed it to 12v12 for both minmode 1 and 0 so that I could use minmode to run a crosshair switcher. I was hoping that I could create a hud crosshair switcher that didn't have the freeze that switching minmode had but for now it appears that it is impossible to do so.
