hi delta9857, i did try with van helsing hallows shoot - out. But i had some issues.

Look i would realy like to help, but i need the help as well.

I anyone else is willing to help us both out i will upload the mfa, including the main char with the mouse set up.

What do you think?

[willow]

please see the file archive. i reduced the settings to 256 colours.

I know this is not much help but maybe someone can help us both?

[willow]

sorry, just reformatting character to 256 colours with no alpha.

I will post a new optimised character to the file archive with my current flawed setup, you may experience problems with this one as it has alpha trans.

im trying to help, but some support would be nice.

What's the trouble?
Just create an object for the crosshairs and set X Position to XMouse and Y position to YMouse... Works fine for me.

I just tried this:

Always
--Crosshairs
---Set X position to X mouse
---Set Y position to Y mouse

But when I run the application it doesn't appear :/

Hi delta9857. I have a example on my website that maybe you can use:

Ok, so I finally got this to work. If there is anyone out there who is having trouble do this:

Set the crosshairs movement to static, then make an event:

Always
--Crosshairs------Set X position to X mouse
Set Y position to Y mouse
--Hide windows mouse pointer

Hope this helps and is easy to understand
