Hello,

I want to hide the cursor as I am using a gamepad instead of mouse and keyboard.

Would this code work for that:

Screen.showCursor = false;

and if so where show it go?

I am really new, and have no experience coding (dont really know how i made it this far)

Cheers,

Sabrina

If you want to hide the cursor through the entire game you should add the "Screen.showCursor = false"-code inside the Start function ;)

like so:

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

(in C#)

or:

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

(in JavaScript)

Cool and super simple, wish I had the rep to upvote this!

If you also want to hide the cursor AND lock it in the center of the screen, you should use

Screen.lockCursor = true;

but this is not working in Unity 2017.1.0f3

For those using unity 5 or above, Its “Cursor.visble = false;” (C#) to hide the cursor.

//for Unity3d 5
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class CurserRemove : MonoBehaviour {

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
	Cursor.visible = false;

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {

}

}

It does not work for me the cursor is still there

To remove your mouse from the screen, create a neew c# script and then clear everything out of it
the copy and paste the following into the script:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class CursorDelete : MonoBehaviour {
void Start ()
    {
    Screen.showCursor = false;
    Screen.lockCursor = true;
	}
}

‘Cursor.visible = false;’ with the correct spelling

Not sure who asked but yeah, to lock cursor in the middle of the screen using UNITY:
Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
