Description

Whenever you don't have a weapon held out, the default crosshair shows up instead (like in Half-Life 2). This addon hides that crosshair. Black Mesa also doesn't have this crosshair.
This is a purely client-side addon. If the host has this installed, it won't affect anyone else.

The crosshair is a HUD element named CHudCrosshair . Every frame, for every HUD element that exists, the game asks every addon that is installed: "Should I draw (name of HUD element) right now?" In code, this is done with the GM:HUDShouldDraw [wiki.facepunch.com] hook.

What this addon does is it checks whether the player doesn't have a weapon out - if they don't, then, upon being asked whether the crosshair element should be drawn, the addon tells the game "don't draw this HUD element".

I don't have a clue how the crosshair is drawn, but it doesn't really matter as long as the crosshair can just be hidden easily. If it's stored in a font (it may be), then it would be a bit tedious, and janky to replace it, since you'd have to replace the entire font file .

How Did You Remove It To Begin With? Is The Crosshair Itself A Vector Or Is It Hidden In Some Kind Of Font?
