I give up!!!

#1 I'd hit F10 and go through the list of GUI elements, then try setVisible() on the ones I think are likely candidates.

#2 But I need to do it within the script. I want the crosshair only to appear on certain objects.

#3 I've fixed it. In playgui.cs define guicrosshairhud as

new GuiCrossHairHud(CrossHair) {
profile = "GuiDefaultProfile";
horizSizing = "center";
vertSizing = "center";
position = "304 224";
extent = "32 32";
minExtent = "8 8";
visible = "1";
helpTag = "0";
bitmap = "./crossHair";
wrap = "0";
damageFillColor = "0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 1.000000";
damageFrameColor = "1.000000 0.600000 0.000000 1.000000";
damageRect = "50 4";
damageOffset = "0 10";
};

then simply use crosshair.setvisible(true/false). The problem I was having is that I misspelt setvisible (i had setvisable)

#4 I think that in order to access a specific GUI element you have to give it a name. By default, the GUICrosshairHUD doesn't have a name. Looking in PlayGUI.gui you have something like:

new GuiCrossHairHud( [PUT NAME HERE] ) {

So you have to give the control a name between the parenthesis; then you should be able to access the control using that name.

As an example, also in PlayGUI.gui you have:

new GuiMLTextCtrl(BottomPrintText)

and so you can access this control in script using the name "BottomPrintText". In PlayGUI.cs there is some code that manipulates this control:

function refreshBottomTextCtrl()
{
   BottomPrintText.position = "0 0";
}

So if you give the GuiCrosshairHUD a name you should be able to do the setvisible() in script.

Edit: ah well, posted a little late! Still good info, I guess.

#5 Thanks.

#6 Yup, it was good info.
