[v1.5] Create Dynamic Crosshairs! (Updated!)

Resources Community Resources
,
#109

my guess would be you don’t have IgnoreGuiInset on the crosshair gui

#110

yes I can add an example place to the original post

#111

What if you let devs add dynamic UIs to anchored relative to the crosshair? (if you move or resize the crosshair, the UI moves) It may be useful for stuff like ‘ammo count’.

#112

I’m having some trouble understanding, can you show me what you mean?

#113

Like, you could create a ‘Frame’ object with UI objects inside anchored to the crosshair position, It also moves when you change crosshair size.

#114

Small Update

New

Hide the crosshair with:

DynamicCrosshair.hidden = true

Unlike DynamicCrosshair:Disable() this will not stop the :Update() function (useful for functions like :Raycast() when the crosshair is invisible)

Shove the crosshair with :Shove()
Usage:

DynamicCrosshair:Shove()

This will shove the crosshair by whatever your IncreasePerSecond is set as

Set the “spread” values manually:

DynamicCrosshair.Spreading.Spread = 20 -- current spread of crosshair
DynamicCrosshair.Spreading.MaxSpread = 60
DynamicCrosshair.Spreading.MinSpread = 20
DynamicCrosshair.Spreading.DecreasePerSecond = 40
DynamicCrosshair.Spreading.IncreasePerSecond = 30

Documentation Status: Not Updated :x: - I’ll get to it… eventually

I tried to use the Shove() but it’s not working and stays completely still so I used SetSmooth() but yeah the Crosshair won’t last long:

#117

Any errors? If not I’m not sure why :Shove wouldn’t work.
Make sure you have the latest version of dynamic crosshair

#118

Hello! I currently have an issue. How would I fix this weird bug when I spam the smoothset function?

Here is a simple code that I made

local Module = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").DynamicCrosshair)

local Crosshair = Module.New(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Crosshair"), 5, 50, 1, 1, false)

Crosshair:Enable()
Crosshair:FollowMouse(false)

local Spread = 5
local NormalSpread = 5

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, G)
	if G then return end
	if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		Crosshair:SmoothSet(Spread + 25, 0.2)
		Spread += 25
		task.delay(0.2, function()
			Crosshair:SmoothSet(NormalSpread, 0.2)
			Spread = NormalSpread
		end)
		
		local M = math.random(1,2)
		
		if M == 1 then
			Crosshair:Hitmarker(false, 0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
		else
			Crosshair:Hitmarker(true, 1.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
		end
	end
end)
#119

Also, I suggest making a setting that will always return the spread to the default value that you set in creating a new crosshair

#120

Is it possible to add a borderpixel to the CenterDot?

#121

Yes,

DynamicCrosshair.CenterDot.centerdot.BorderSizePixel = 1
#122

UPDATE

Bug fixes with :Destroy()

Always looking for feedback
I want to expand this module as much as I can!

Wow, this is still getting updated and maintained, amazing module!

#124

Hi, this module is amazing, and I am extremely thankful that you made this. However, I did notice a bug with the Raycast() function. I was implementing it into my game, and I realized that the ray shoots above where the crosshair is. So, I did some experimenting on a completely fresh baseplate with the code you provided on your Github and had the same issue. Also, I made sure I was using the latest version and had IgnoreGuillinset on (everything else was the same).

Here are a few examples of what I mean:
Place1 - Roblox Studio (gyazo.com)

#125

Try turning off IgnoreGuiInset and see if that fixes your issue

#126

I’ve tried that, it does what you expect it would. Crosshair moves down, and the ray shoots at the same position.

#127

Hello, not sure if it’s me doing something wrong, or theres an issue wit the module

I have seperate script that creates the UI and enables it

local UI:ScreenGui = script.Parent 
local DynamicCrosshair = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Modules.DynamicCrosshair).New(UI)
DynamicCrosshair:Enable()
--Just like in the tutorial

And then another local script that shoves the croshair when the gun shoots:

local DynamicCrosshair = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Modules.DynamicCrosshair)
DynamicCrosshair:Shove()

But for some reason I’m getting this error:

ReplicatedStorage.Modules.DynamicCrosshair:231: attempt to index nil with 'Spread'

If you know the fix please let me know :grinning:

#129

Maybe make a variable that determines if crosshair is changing or not and if its changing then it will cancel the task?

#130

you can do this with simple scripting. just set the position of the gui to the position of the side of the crosshair you want + the offset you want it to be
