Also I believe (not 100% sure) but setBitmap requires a string. So it should be:

AlsoxHair.setBitmap(~/data/crosshairs/1)needs a ;
xHair.setBitmap(~/data/crosshairs/1);

It says there is no such thing as setExtent, then what do I use to set the size?

Yeah, you were right, I figured that out a few min ago. Thanks guys... I have a new question, this will compile, but won't run.function PlayGui::sniperZoom(%this)
{
if ($sZoom == 0)
{
xHair.setBitmap("main/data/crosshairs/2"); //Zoom
xHair.setExtent($pref::display::resolution); //Size
$sZoom = 1;
}
else
{
xHair.setBitmap("main/data/crosshairs/1"); //UnZoom
xHair.setExtent("64 64"); //Size
$sZoom = 0;
}
}It says there is no such thing as setExtent, then what do I use to set the size?

Thanks, that was just what I needed. (After reading through that resource I relized that there is a much easier way to zoom then what it said)
