I was wondering, is there a way to change a reticule/target in 3d space when it is pointing at a specified object... (well that description wasn't too good...) um... lets try this... take for example a fps game... where you have a little target pointer thingy and say for example it's white... i was wondering if there is a way to make it change colour when it points at a specific object in 3d space no matter where you are looking at it from.... Dunno if that was any better of a description but...
anyway plz help me it's driving me bonkers
