How to get the color of the reticle when aiming at enemies (solved) Thread - Vanilla UI Plus mod for Fallout: New Vegas

Hello! I’m trying to apply the reticle color to the Dynamic Crosshair mod for Fallout 3. So far I have found out that "HUDMainMenu\ReticleCenter\Reticle_Center\systemcolor" changes from 1 to 2 when aiming at an enemy so naturally I tried to add this value to like this:

<systemcolor> <copy src="Reticle_Center" trait="systemcolor" /> </systemcolor>

Strange enough in the hud_main_menu.xml I can’t even see this child of ReticleCenter:

<rect name="ReticleCenter">
	<id> &noglow_branch; </id>
	<systemcolor> &hudmain; </systemcolor>
	<width> 63 </width>
	<height> 75 </height>
</rect>

So there is the parent ReticleCenter and it seems like there is a child named Reticle_Center. And only the systemcolor of the child changes when aiming at an enemy.

I don’t know what to do with this information but I wanted to ask if someone could help me out on this. Thank you!

Edit: All right, so I have manually set the systemcolor of AccuracyCross to 2 and it changed that color to red! So it seems like I somehow screw up copying the value from Reticle_Center to AccuracyCross.

I have also found out that changing the systemcolor in-game doesn’t actually change color of the crosshair even though if you use the GetUIFloat command you can see that the value has indeed changed. I can’t figure out the probleme here.
