[L4D2] laser sight crosshair removal updated: 06/29

What does it do?
while a player is holding a gun that has a laser sight, it will remove the crosshairs and leave you with the red dot. It automatically re-enables and re-disables the laser sight as the player switches from their primary weapons to others.

Please make sure your sdkhooks is update:

This is my first true plugin, made in response to http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=109979 . Currently everything seems to be working, but i wouldn't be surprised if bugs pop up, especially in versus.

TODO

Check for survivor release.
remove sdkhooks dependency
client command to leave crosshairs on.

known compatibility issues

Re: [L4D2] laser sight crosshair removal

I didnt't test it, but there will be a crosshair if you pick up a weapon with laser sights.
Somehow we need to remember which weapon already got the lasersights. With the command "GetPlayerWeaponSlot(client, 1);" we can log the entitynumber of the weapon and save it into an array. If then the user picks up a weapon, the event "weapon_pickup" will be fired, that contains the entitynumber so we can compare them.

Re: [L4D2] laser sight crosshair removal

Ah, thats what triggers the weapon pickup, i was originally trying to use that for the picking-up of new weapons, but realized that wasn't triggering. As for the remembering what weapons have lasers, that will probably be the second thing i do after removing the need for sdkhooks, and any major bugs that come up.

sdkhooks comes with every sourcemod version

oh and a suggestion

lets say if they pick up laser sight
theres a cmd to it
cl_crosshair_alpha
if there was a way if they pick up laser sight
the cvar would change to cl_crosshair_alpha 255

Re: [L4D2] laser sight crosshair removal

this laser sight crosshair removal not work when you use this command
upgrade_add LASER_SIGHT
can you fix this?

I'm not sure i quite understand what you are asking.
And i just checked..sdkhooks doesn't come with sourcemod. sdktools does.

Whoops, meant to add that to the todo.

edit: updating to 1.0.5 which hooks the upgrade_add command for the laser sight

Re: [L4D2] laser sight crosshair removal

I tried again, doesn't work. I have the hooks

I am using this plugin to spawn the laser sight
http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=993960

EDIT: I got it working when I pick it up in a real spawn location, but it also removes the crosshair on the Magnum, which makes it very difficult to aim.
