Animated crosshair?

I had the idea to add a little circle that 'focuses' around the crosshair when using the huntsman, tomb raider's the only thing I can think of at the moment that's done that. Not really for the functionality actually, more so for just.. style. Haha. But, after looking at the doodlestuff tutorials, and going through e.v.e hud's files, (The ones related to the bow at least.)... I'm guessing that's not possible through just HUD editing, is it?

Just by saying you want it for huntsman alone eliminates it from being possible in TF2. It's probably possible for primaries using something similar to broesel's crosshair switcher, but that depends on whether you want it to focus when you draw the bow or just having it out.

Either way, this kinda thing usually isn't what this forum is for. You might wanna try /r/tf2

I reckon it's fine to ask it here tbh, but it's not really clear what you actually want the cross-hair to do, do you mean you want it to shrink? Cause I don't think that's possible

theres like a whole forum thing for customization why would it be frowned upon? theres no harm in asking people are always willing to help. i posted an idea i had about a hud here and someone made it for me why would you think people would get upset about this?

xattuuwhy would you think people would get upset about this?

It basically stems from this one thread I remember seeing (could've been an individual post, I don't recall), where this guy asks for the name of a hud, shows a video of said hud, and everyone shits on him because the video's creator had his hud tricked out with all these incredibly unnecessary customizations. I drew a similarity between OP saying

Guess my worries were unfounded.

I'm pretty sure you could.

1) Have a dot/circle material (probably inside huddemomancharge.res for safety, hudlayout.res if not possible) with scaleimage 1 and set it to be alpha 0 so it doesn't appear normally.
2) Set up the MenuOpen hudanimation to change its alpha and resize the dot/circle material in the 1.0 second charge time.
3) Set up the MenuClose hudanimation to change its alpha back to 0 and resize it back to normal.
4) Script pressing M1 to open a voicemenu, and releasing M1 or pressing M2 to slot10 to close the voicemenu in sniper.cfg with a crosshair switcher for your primary only.

There might be some unforeseen issue but that's the general gist of it.

Tftv has the most ongoing hud discussion and the most talented hud makers in the tf2 community. Telling someone to go somewhere else is just silly, when in all likelihood this is literally the only place they'd find someone who can tell them how to do it.
