Drawcross

Drawcross used to show locations of world_items in Half-Life: Source.

drawcross and drawline are console commands available in all Source games. Creates lines or crosses. Cross consists of 4 lines and there are 20 lines possible to be drawn at once (i.e. 5 crosses, or 4 crosses and 4 lines, 3 crosses and 8 lines etc.). The lines they draw are red if intersecting solid geometry otherwise white.

Tip:clear_debug_overlays command doesn't clear these lines but it's possible to hide them by issuing drawline 0 0 0 0 0 0 20 times. It's possible to alias it as follows for quick way to clear them. clear_debug_overlays is autocomplete by console and adding 2 at the end is fast.

alias e "drawline 0 0 0 0 0 0";
alias clear_debug_overlays2 "e;e;e;e;e;e;e;e;e;e;e;e;e;e;e;e;e;e;e;e"
