Custom Mouse Pointers

Archived Forums Questions & Answers
1

I’ve tried a couple different solutions I’ve seen posted either here, in the forums, or on the Unify wiki, but none of the scripts I’ve used to create a custom mouse pointer have worked. Even if I enter the code exactly as in the examples that have worked for others (except for using my own files, of course) they generate a multitude of errors. Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction?

I just tried this one with a local png image and that worked fine for me. I preferred it in C though…

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class CursorController : MonoBehaviour {
	
	public Texture cursorImage;
	
	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () 
	{
		Screen.showCursor = false;
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void OnGUI () 
	{
	    Vector3 mousePos = Input.mousePosition;
	    Rect pos = new Rect(mousePos.x,Screen.height - mousePos.y,cursorImage.width,cursorImage.height);
	    GUI.Label(pos,cursorImage);
	}
}

I am using this (also found here somewhere), and it works like a charm:

var myCursor:Texture2D;
var cursorSizeX: int = 32;  // set to width of your cursor texture
var cursorSizeY: int = 32;  // set to height of your cursor texture

function Start(){
	Screen.showCursor = false;
}

function OnGUI(){
    GUI.DrawTexture (Rect(Input.mousePosition.x-cursorSizeX/2, (Screen.height-Input.mousePosition.y)-cursorSizeY/2, cursorSizeX, cursorSizeY),myCursor);
}
