I need my cursor to be locked and hiden when I start the game, and when I press the Esc key it will show the cursor and unlock it. Does anyone know how to do this?

Have a look at the Screen class provided by the product. Specifically it has two methods:

[Screen.showCursor](http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Screen-showCursor.html)

and

[Screen.lockCursor](http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Screen-lockCursor.html)
