Changing mouse cursor

Unity Engine
1

Hello I’m trying to figure out how to change the appearance of the hardware mouse cursor in-game. I checked out the MouseCursor class but it is EXTREMELY vague. I thought perhaps changing MouseCursor.Arrow is how I am supposed to do it, but the reference doesn’t tell me what kind of value it accepts.

Can anyone shed some light on how to do this? Thanks.

Nevermind there is no built in method to change the cursor. I’ll just script it using a trick I found

Fancy sharing your “trick” for others who have the same issues in the future?

Ok. So I wanted to change the hardware cursor but instead I had to make a software cursor, whose performance depends on the frame rate of the game.

Here is some code for it:

var custom_cursor:Texture;
function Start(){
	Screen.showCursor=false;
	}
function OnGUI(){
	var mouse_pos=Input.mousePosition;
	var pos=Rect(mouse_pos.x,Screen.height-mouse_pos.y,custom_cursor.width,custom_cursor.height);
	GUI.Label(pos,custom_cursor);
	}

It just makes the real cursor invisible and overlays the custom cursor image on top of its position.
