since alot of weapons dont have scopes but do have ironsights, im trying to make ironsights. i know how to make the scope into ironsights but they will only be black with no color or texture. is there a way to make them have color so it actually look good?

this is what my ironsight looks currently.

ths is how i want it too look.

for one thing the part all the way to the right needs to be fixed.
Any part of the scope that touches the edge of the bitmap stretches across the screen. That's the understanding I have. So make it slightly less then the edge.
This is a pretty cool idea.

Is that the zoom? If so, you can't make it color I think. It uses the alpha map that tell halo how much color should be in there and where there is color at all. But the color has to be a single color. So say I did blue, I would only be able to do shades of blue.

actually, instead of
light blue -> dark blue
spectrum
i think it would be
dark blue -> clear
spectrum
getting more and more transparent depending on the alpha information.

You get the point, you can't do it.

not so fast... look at osamas splinter cell style scope (and all the others for that matter)
shades of gray... enough to make a decent looking gun...
