Any Tips to make a ThirdPerson Crosshair?

I would like to create a third person cross hair. Got everything set up by watching Rakiz Farooq tutorials. Already created my crosshair in photoshop. What do I do next? Can’t find anything online or YouTube.

maybe you can take it, from the first person example?

Hi,

Do you have a hud (blueprint widget)? If you do then add it to it (in the center I guess) and in the hud blueprint you can have an event that animate the crosshair when you shoot (the more you shoot the more it is wide).

If you do not know Widget here is a tutorial : Unreal (UE4) Health HUD Widget Tutorial - YouTube

I hope it helps

We did it by making a Widget that is the cross hair (or other icon depending on what the player is looking at) and made it anchor in the center of the screen.

The texture needs to be marked as UI.
Widget has an Image centered on it.
Alignment needs to be centered.
You add the widget to your Ui layer on the player’s camera.
