cl_crosshair_file

Sets which crosshair image is used. Empty uses each weapon's default crosshair.

cl_crosshair_file <name>

Examples

cl_crosshair_file crosshair5

Use crosshair 5.

cl_crosshair_file ""

Back to the weapon default.

Arguments

nameRequired
Crosshair file name, or empty for the default.

What it does

The same choice as the crosshair picker in Multiplayer options. Values are file names from the game's crosshair set, such as crosshair1 to crosshair7, or a custom crosshair file.

Use it in your game

Type it in your own game console: turn on the developer console in the game's settings, then press the key under Esc. To keep it, put the line in tf/cfg/autoexec.cfg.
