Draw a Circle/Crosshair

Hello,
I have written (with chat GPT) a script, that draws a crosshair on the screen in python. I wanted to play huntress, but Its annoying to miss some easy shots.
But I am afaird of getting banned for using it. They are cheats, or external game advantage.
I know many people are using monitor build-in crosshairs, Otztarva himself said that numerous times.
So I don't know, could anyone from product or development reply to me if such scripts are forbidden?

I would add the script to the post, but I think anyone interested will find information's by themself. And I don't want to be flagged as cheats developer by some mistake.

    A built-in monitor crosshair or something like a bit of tape on your screen is undetectable by anticheats. They couldn't ban for it even if they wanted to.

    External programs that draw crosshairs over your game is sketchy though. The developers themselves are unlikely to ban you for it but if the anti-cheat flags you then they won't unban you.

    people use 3d party programs for coms and texture changes so i dont think a crosshair would be bannable especially as people can just stick a tiny bit of paper on the screen to act as a crosshair lol

    BHVR has said they won't ban for a crosshair, but they won't revert a ban that EAC caused. So as long as you're not messing with files or injecting something into the game, you're fine. Some overlay on your game isn't going to get you banned.

    I cut a small square off a sticky note, throw some hatchets at a wall and stick the square on the screen where it lands lol works as a decent crosshair
