How do I change the cross hair in my game. At the moment I have a circle that follows the mouse and acts as a crosshair but I want to use an image I've created, anyone know what to do?
P.s
I use DBCenhanced

Got anime?
I do.

Make a sprite from image and put it where your circle is. I don't know the commands for DBC to do this ... sorry I only use DBP.

In DBP it would be: Before your main loop:


And put this once in your loop

Hope this helps I'm sure you can do something like this in DBC or you could just make a plain, texture it your crosshair texture, set transparency on, and use alpha channels in your texture to make it partially see through.

Thanks for the help, it will be helpful once I upgrade to DBPro, but not at the moment.

Actually, what I found works the best with DBC is to make a plain and texture it with your image. Use the "set object" command to make the black areas of your image transparent, and lock the plain to the screen. Here's an example.



Using textured plains is WAY faster than sprites with DBC since you're not mixing 2D with 3D. Hope this helps.

Also, I have a cross hair but I want the white to be transperant, so it doesn't look like a white square with a cross hair in it, how do I do this?

Change the white to black with an image editor and do like hyrichter said: Set Object --> set the transparent flag to 1

Do you want it to follow your mouse? Well, I always find that Sprites work, nothing fancy, very simple



and bam, you get the image to follow your mouse. If it's a little off just subtract some value from mousex() or mousey()
I hope this is what you were looking for... Mabey not... but at least I tried 'Eh!
Ah, but this is for an FPS right? so it may not be that great mixing it with 3D. Just position whatever your using the crosshair for at mousex() and mousey().
Works for me.

Thanks for trying but I was hoping it would be like this basic command:

just with the sprite, which it didn't seem to do...
Don't know why my self, cuz it's pretty much the same.
