Creating a Rainbow Crosshair

Subject: Creating a Rainbow Crosshair Wed Nov 25, 2009 4:17 pm

This is a simple tutorial on how to make a Crosshair that is rainbow filled.

Add this at the top (under your includes)

Code:

bool crosshair = false;
float ScreenCenterX = 0.0f;//Horizontal Position
float ScreenCenterY = 0.0f;//Vertical Position

That determines the center of your screen.

Spoiler:
	Algebra Terms: It determines the x and y intercept (which are both 0)

ALSO:

Add

Code:

#pragma warning(disable:4305)

to the top with your includes to get rid of warnings.

Step 2:

If you are using the Starter Kit search "

Code:

HRESULT APIENTRY hkIDirect3DDevice9::SetViewport(CONST D3DVIEWPORT9 *pViewport) )

" If you aren't, go down to SetViewport.

Add this:

Code:

ScreenCenterX = ( float )pViewport->Width / 2;
ScreenCenterY = ( float )pViewport->Height / 2;

Step 3:

Finally, go to "EndScene" or

Code:

( HRESULT APIENTRY hkIDirect3DDevice9::EndScene() )

and type this:

Code:

if(crosshair)
{
D3DVIEWPORT9 viewP;
m_pD3Ddev->GetViewport( &viewP );
DWORD ScreenCenterX = viewP.Width / 2;
DWORD ScreenCenterY = viewP.Height / 2;

D3DRECT rec4 = {ScreenCenterX-35, ScreenCenterY, ScreenCenterX+ 35, ScreenCenterY+1};
D3DRECT rec5 = {ScreenCenterX, ScreenCenterY-35, ScreenCenterX+ 1,ScreenCenterY+35};
m_pD3Ddev->Clear( 1, &rec4, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DXCOLOR(0.62745098, 0.125490, 0.959999, 1.0), 0, 0 );//purple
m_pD3Ddev->Clear( 1, &rec5, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DXCOLOR(0.62745098, 0.125490, 0.959999, 1.0), 0, 0 );

D3DRECT rec6 = {ScreenCenterX-30, ScreenCenterY, ScreenCenterX+ 30, ScreenCenterY+1};
D3DRECT rec7 = {ScreenCenterX, ScreenCenterY-30, ScreenCenterX+ 1,ScreenCenterY+30};
m_pD3Ddev->Clear( 1, &rec6, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DXCOLOR(0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0), 0, 0 );//blue

D3DRECT rec9 = {ScreenCenterX, ScreenCenterY-25, ScreenCenterX+ 1,ScreenCenterY+25};
m_pD3Ddev->Clear( 1, &rec8, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DXCOLOR(0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0), 0, 0 );//cyan
m_pD3Ddev->Clear( 1, &rec9, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DXCOLOR(0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0), 0, 0 );

D3DRECT rec10 = {ScreenCenterX-20, ScreenCenterY, ScreenCenterX+ 20, ScreenCenterY+1};
D3DRECT rec11 = {ScreenCenterX, ScreenCenterY-20, ScreenCenterX+ 1,ScreenCenterY+20};
m_pD3Ddev->Clear( 1, &rec10, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DXCOLOR(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0), 0, 0 );// green
m_pD3Ddev->Clear( 1, &rec11, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DXCOLOR(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0), 0, 0 );

D3DRECT rec12 = {ScreenCenterX-15, ScreenCenterY, ScreenCenterX+ 15, ScreenCenterY+1};
D3DRECT rec13 = {ScreenCenterX, ScreenCenterY-15, ScreenCenterX+ 1,ScreenCenterY+15};
m_pD3Ddev->Clear( 1, &rec12, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DXCOLOR(1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0), 0, 0 );// yellow
m_pD3Ddev->Clear( 1, &rec13, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DXCOLOR(1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0), 0, 0 );

D3DRECT rec14 = {ScreenCenterX-10, ScreenCenterY, ScreenCenterX+ 10, ScreenCenterY+1};
D3DRECT rec15 = {ScreenCenterX, ScreenCenterY-10, ScreenCenterX+ 1,ScreenCenterY+10};
m_pD3Ddev->Clear( 1, &rec14, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DXCOLOR(1.0, 0.549019608, 0.0, 1.0), 0, 0 );// orange
m_pD3Ddev->Clear( 1, &rec15, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DXCOLOR(1.0, 0.549019608, 0.0, 1.0), 0, 0 );

D3DRECT rec16 = {ScreenCenterX-5, ScreenCenterY, ScreenCenterX+ 5, ScreenCenterY+1};
D3DRECT rec17 = {ScreenCenterX, ScreenCenterY-5, ScreenCenterX+ 1,ScreenCenterY+5};
m_pD3Ddev->Clear( 1, &rec16, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DXCOLOR(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0), 0, 0 );//red
m_pD3Ddev->Clear( 1, &rec17, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DXCOLOR(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0), 0, 0 );

Not really.

It has far more capabilities, and is supported by more MAJOR games (That means like halo, and other big games, not crossfire.)

It's also a different concept than d3d, and I find it easier to understand, and to build a hack with.
