what have you made ?
When you make a new weapon, you don't need to make anything : you should have a crosshair.
Have you made a new HUD ?? Or do you have written a new postrender function ?

here it is:
Here:
simulated function PostRender( canvas Canvas )
{
Local Int C;
If (bHudAmmo)
{
bOwnsCrosshair=True;//this doesnt work!!!
If (AmmoType.AmmoAmount <= ReloadCount) C = AmmoType.AmmoAmount;
Else
C = Count;
Canvas.Style = ERenderStyle.STY_Translucent;
Canvas.Font = Canvas.SmallFont;
Canvas.SetPos(0.8 * Canvas.ClipX, 0.8 * Canvas.ClipY);
if(Count < (ReLoadCount * 0.25))
{
Canvas.DrawColor.R = 255;
Canvas.DrawColor.G = 0;
Canvas.DrawColor.B = 0;
}
else
{
Canvas.DrawColor.R = 0;
Canvas.DrawColor.G = 255;
Canvas.DrawColor.B = 0;
}
}
there you have it, but I have no cross hair

}
there you have it, but I have no cross hair
Ok, to my mind, "bOwnsCrossHair = True;" will delete your crosshair...
If you want to have one, you'll have to write : bOwnsCrossHair = False;
It should work now.

setting bOwnsCrossHair to True (which should be done in the defaultproperties) prompts the player's HUD to NOT draw a crosshair - it is the job of the weapon to render a crosshair of its own in its PostRender function. Check out the code in UT_Eightball, which uses a different cursor when a target lock is acquired...
i'm not agree, bownscrosshair will hide your crosshair if you set it to true...
Try it and you'll see.

bOwnsCrosshair indeed hides the default crosshair when set to true. With bOwnsCrosshair set, you're responsible for drawing your own crosshair in the weapon's PostRender function.
Set bOwnsCrosshair in the weapon's "defaultproperties" section. I don't know what your bHudAmmo variable is supposed to contain, but I suspect that your "bOwnsCrosshair = True" line is never executed.

I think the problem is bOwnsCrosshair, but if it isn't the case, i think there is another problem. You never call :
Super.PostRender(Canvas);
It might be the problem... Else i don't understand.

I'm a bit confused. Does he want to have the default crosshair displayed in the middle of the screen, or does he want to exclusively render his own (like the Redeemer and the zoomed Sniper Rifle do)?
If he wants the default crosshair, he shouldn't touch bOwnsCrossHair at all and leave it "false." As said before, setting bOwnsCrossHair to "true" hides the default crosshair.
The code responsible for this is in ChallengeHUD, lines 1108f (PostRender).

Depends on which weapon he's subclassing. Most stock weapons don't implement PostRender, with the exception of the Rocket Launcher, the Redeemer and the Sniper Rifle. But all that hasn't anything to do with the default crosshair, anyway.
