Screen.LockCursor working in editor but not in webplayer

Questions & Answers
1

As stated in the title, when I play my game in the editor it works perfectly. When I build it out into a webplayer and play it the cursor is still visible and can leave the window even though I have clicked into the content. Please help me as this is getting very frusterating…I have in the Awake() of my Camera to Screen.lockCursor = true;

I thought it may be because I had run in background on, however this didnt solve the issue.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from someone soon!

From the Documentation:

In the web player the cursor may only
only be locked after the user has
clicked on the content and the user
has not left the content view with the
cursor. After the user presses escape
or switches to another application the
cursor will be automatically unlocked.
The cursor lock will also be lost when
exiting full screen mode. You can
query if the cursor is currently
locked by checking the lockCursor
state. To provide a good user
experience it is recommended to only
lock the cursor as a result of
pressing a button. Also you should
check if the cursor got unlocked, in
order to e.g. pause the game or bring
up a game menu. In the Web Player and
Editor the cursor will automatically
be unlocked when you press escape. In
the Standalone Player you have full
control over mouse locking thus it
won’t automatically lose mouse lock
unless you switch applications.

I’ve had this problem, and got around it with… not the most elegant thing, but it works. In your update, do this:

if(Screen.lockCursor == false)
{
if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
Screen.lockCursor = true;
}
}

The reason it won’t get called from “Start” is because you could potentially steal focus without the user allowing you to.
