Hello everyone and welcome to a new (probably short) series of videos I do involving the source code from Valve for Half-Life 2, and some guides on how to do stuff with this code. In this episode, I showcase how you can add Battlefield/Call of Duty style hitmarkers into your Source mod. I also include some improvements to this feature that allow the hitmarkers to be displayed at the point where damage is inflicted while also adding hitnumbers. I have to give a massive thank you to Ferrety for making the original guide and to ‪@WadDeIz_Real‬ for the providing the code that improves this feature! Please let me know what you think and I will see you for whatever I decide to do next, thanks for watching!
