(Console edition) rework the "Aiming" reticle.

[Superwolfkid]

The Problem:

This might be a bit hard to explain, but in Dont starve together the reticle we use to aim in the game is really weird in the game(The reticle let's players see where they are teleporting/aiming, instead of being able to move anywhere on your screen, for some reason it's only forward directly in front of you, and you can't control how far and close the circle has to be, and sometimes it's extremely aggravating and makes it a complete nightmare to locate the exact point to where you want to teleport. Sometimes you want to hop/teleport a really small distance, but sometimes it goes the farthest it possibly can, sometimes you want to throw a water balloon at someone, but you have to distance and adjust yourself a bit for the circle to get it just right and risk the chance of missing or the player moving away.

(Using Wortox's Soul Hop as an example, sorry about the quality)

An Idea of a way to rework it:

Now I remember seeing this before in shipwreck for console, but when I check it now I think it got patched, so I can't really show it but I'll have to explain it as best as I can. (Please Note: I will be using a PS4 controller button route as my example here is a picture to help detail it.)

Spoiler

Similar to when you click the left joycon to auto target, If you press the Circle button (while holding an item that requires to aim like a lazy explorer or Playing as Wortox) It will initiate a type of aiming mode where you can drag the orange reticle around anywhere on the screen using the right joy con. Once you want to use whatever your aiming with you push Circle again to use it! If you don't want to currently use it then you can just simply press Triangle to cancel it.

Make it optional in the settings:

If it ever does become an option, make it an optional setting in the options for the players that like the way it was before. That way, people can still use the classic way if the don't like the new one.

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas to this let me know, I want to see how people think of this idea of adding this.
