it dosent work, i think its because of this error
sss.dms:2:error at '{': variable not defined
and the background change dosent work either because of the same error
or should i put it in something besides a dms file

Put the code Siientx gave you in your code file. As for getting the cross hairs to appear you need to add the mouse_over_pointer variable to whatever you want it to appear over.

For example,
client
   mouse_pointer_icon = 'gun.dmi'

obj
   target
      mouse_over_pointer = 'crosshairs.dmi'

This will cause your pointer to be a gun until it is over the target. Then it will turn into crosshairs.

There is an easier way to do this, just read the mouse pointer section in the help, you can make one icon file with multiple states for the one mouse, like you can specify which will be the mouse over icon, without typing out in code what it should go to.
