func_tank with laser crosshair?

On my deathmatch map one of two guns is more of a mounted sniper rifle. I would like it to project a red laser to where it points to help player with aiming. it can be constantly visible OR, if possible, the laser would turn on only when a player is using the func_tank.

I experimented with func_tank and func_tanklaser with the same names, but without positive results. I know this is easily achievable in Spirit of Half-Life, but I would like the map to be available for Half-Life itself as well.

Can it be done? Does it involve tinkering with .fgd file? If so, will it be compatibile on every other copy of Half-Life 1.1.1.1 ?

Thanks in advance for any reliable answers.

I've seen somebody--can't remember who-- use a game_text "x" to simulate a crosshairs on a func_tank, (you could use a period too i guess) so when you're operating the func_tank, the game_text is on.

I know it's not what you want, but it doesn't require spirit or coding.

I can only tell you thet HL1.1.1.1 ang HL1.1.1.0 arent much different.Well...on HL1.1.1.0 are working the mods...Wait!This isnt asering anything.I see what are you trying,but cant help you

That's quite plausible workaround, Capt'n. I shall give it a try since nothing else can be done. :smile: Thanks.

That's pretty clever :cool: .
