In L4D2 valve mixed the weapon selection and crosshair.If you use m_iHidehud,only ALL(1<<2) and weaponselection(1<<0) will make crosshair disappear. And you will also hide all or the weapon selection hud on your screen.
Well , is there any way server can hide crosshair but no other hud ?
I just want to make the sniper_awp look like in cs:s ,yeah
(may be there will other way to do this like modify the weapon script about crosshair)

PS :
I have found in hl2sdk-l4d2 and i know this m_iHiddenBits "HIDEHUD_WEAPONSELECTION" control the weaponselection(in hud_weapon.cpp).And we can use setentprop(client,Prop_send,"m_iHideHUD") to modify it.
But unfortunately，i don't know why crosshair also paint in this .cpp and there only one bitmask with it,and the hud_crosshair.cpp which i think the most properly to control the crosshair only control the melee_crosshair.......

This page show the hud elements in hl2,and hud_weapon really handles the crosshair。

If there something wrong,plesae tell me,very thank.

I didn't understand much of it, but can u try this in your console

crosshair 0

yeah ,this can toggle crosshair in clientside,but i want to control it on server.
This command is client command,server can't hook it or modify it,and that is why i ask for help

Afaik it's no longer possible to disable crosshair from server side.

PHP Code:

// Hud Element hiding flags
#define HIDEHUD_WEAPONSELECTION     (1 << 0)    // Hide ammo count & weapon selection
#define HIDEHUD_FLASHLIGHT          (1 << 1)
#define HIDEHUD_ALL                 (1 << 2)
#define HIDEHUD_HEALTH              (1 << 3)    // Hide health & armor / suit battery
#define HIDEHUD_PLAYERDEAD          (1 << 4)    // Hide when local player's dead
#define HIDEHUD_NEEDSUIT            (1 << 5)    // Hide when the local player doesn't have the HEV suit
#define HIDEHUD_MISCSTATUS          (1 << 6)    // Hide miscellaneous status elements (trains, pickup history, death notices, etc)
#define HIDEHUD_CHAT                (1 << 7)    // Hide all communication elements (saytext, voice icon, etc)
#define HIDEHUD_CROSSHAIR           (1 << 8)    // Hide crosshairs
#define HIDEHUD_VEHICLE_CROSSHAIR   (1 << 9)    // Hide vehicle crosshair
#define HIDEHUD_INVEHICLE           (1 << 10)
#define HIDEHUD_BONUS_PROGRESS      (1 << 11)    // Hide bonus progress display (for bonus map challenges) 


PHP Code:

int bits = GetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iHideHUD");
SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iHideHUD", bits & HIDEHUD_CROSSHAIR); 


You can try the above code with "player_team" event if you generally want this applied to every player all the time.
Note that a small delay to execute is needed, means that you cannot do that right in "player_team". For delay functions, either RequestFrame or "CreateTimer" can suffice, up to decisions.

I test this too,it only hide the melee_crosshair.

#define HIDE_WEAPON (1<<8)
SetEntProp(client,Prop_Send,"m_iHideHUD",GetEntProp(client,Prop_Send,"m_iHideHUD")|HIDE_WEAPON);

I notice that when you face an entity which can be selected ,the crosshair will disappear.
Maybe some server func control it hahaha.
