Make cursor work after scene change

Hello, I have recently started my new FPS project, and I was making a death screen once the player fell, and I was wondering if anyone knows how to make the cursor work after a scene change. Here’s what I already tried:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class DeathCursor : MonoBehaviour {

    void Awake () {
        Cursor.visible = true;
       
    }
   
    void Update () {
        Cursor.visible = true;
    }
}

But when I die, it only shows my cursor, and I’m wondering if there’s a way to make the cursor function.

Thanks

Hi,

It may depend on how the rest of your game is set up, but have you tried using Cursor.lockState? so the method would look something like this:

    void Awake () {
        Cursor.visible = true;
        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Confined;
    }

Make sure to not use Cursor.lockState in the Update() method as it can cause flickering and other strange behavior.

This doc has other uses for the Cursor.lockState:

I hope this is helpful.
