Description:

Literally a dot in the center of your screen

I have no idea how do interface configs work and the fact this looks somehow good is only because I managed to change enough values to be where I want it to be. So now instead of normal crosshair, there is a small dot showing you the general way you’re pointing your gun. It’s not a pinpoint laser pointer allowing you to Rambo-snipe anyone, sway still exists.

What is a crosshair

In Arma 3, crosshair is a single texture repeated four times to make four selections – top, bottom, left and right. These selections can "fade", change their position depending on the damage or fatigue your character has. That "feature" of having sections moving away from center means that you can’t have a circle-like pointer that can resize at all, what I did is making one selection stay in place while the rest is completely hidden. That circle can’t change its size so it will not show where your bullet will land nor show the "box" of sway you currently have. I could make four circles overlapping each other and depending on the fatigue they would go away from the center, but this wouldn’t be simple and would take more screen space. Instead you get a Old-Man-like dot.

PS If you’re playing a mission where one task is to interact with an object and that object is among many other interactive objects and you can’t "hit" it, hold down the J key (key for showing task markers in 3D space) and aim at that object, the game will find it instantly and you’ll be shown its action.
