Zoom questions

[Shadico]

All righty, so I have this little tidbit of code:

function SWEP:SecondaryAttack()
	//The variable "ScopeLevel" tells how far the scope has zoomed.
	//This SWEP has 2 zoom levels.
	if(ScopeLevel == 0) then
 
		if(SERVER) then
			self.Owner:SetFOV( 60, 0 )
			//SetFOV changes the field of view, or zoom. First argument is the
			//number of degrees in the player's view (lower numbers zoom farther,)
			//and the second is the duration it takes in seconds.
		end	
 
		ScopeLevel = 1
		//This is zoom level 1.
 
	else if(ScopeLevel == 0) then
 
	else
		//If the user is zoomed in all the way, reset their view.
		if(SERVER) then
			self.Owner:SetFOV( 0, 0 )
			//Setting the FOV to zero resets the player's view, AFAIK
		end		
 
		ScopeLevel = 0
		//There is no zoom.
 
	end
	end
 
end

This makes it zoom into place a little bit, but it's jerky and instant. Is there any way I can make it smooth and neat-looking, like the Arma zoom, or the HL2 crossbow?

In addition, any way I can make a little dot appear in the center of the screen upon zooming?

For drawing the dot, use an if statement and check the zoom level variable in this hook: [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/WEAPON/DoDrawCrosshair[/url]

Funny that Chessnut shows up to this because I'm doing this on NS using Black Tea's CS base in lieu of iron sights.

Anyways, this is what I came up with:

function SWEP:DoDrawCrosshair( x, y )
    if(ScopeLevel == 0) then
	surface.SetDrawColor( 0, 250, 255, 255 )
	surface.DrawOutlinedRect( x - 32, y - 32, 64, 64 )
	return true
	
	else
	
	return false
end
end

No errors, but no crosshair showing up. Is this because of Nutscript by default disabling the crosshair?

Did you see if the hook is running?

Try just using SWEP:DrawHUD

DrawHUD worked, thanks! Will try to figure out on my own how to make it a little dot or something.
