use crosshair as cusor (for clicking and dragging)

Questions & Answers
1

Hi pals,

I want the crosshair to act like a mouse-pointer/cusor. Means I want to have a crosshair and the cusor to be hidden. I do not want to lock the cusor to the center, btw... Thats what I have so far. How do I make the crosshair act like the cusor? I want to click, drag and drop on objects with the crosshair. How could I accieve this?

Thanks. JF

I wrote this for a AC130 game I was making, so it restricts the mouse from going all over the screen, but also changes the mouse to a crosshair... You may use the script, or edit it...

    var crosshairTexture : Texture2D;

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

function OnGUI () 
{
    var mousePos = Event.current.mousePosition;

    mousePos.x = Mathf.Clamp(mousePos.x, 300, 1200);
    mousePos.y = Mathf.Clamp(mousePos.y, 150, 800);

    GUI.DrawTexture( Rect( mousePos.x - (crosshairTexture.width/2),
                           mousePos.y - (crosshairTexture.height/2),
                           crosshairTexture.width,
                           crosshairTexture.height), crosshairTexture);
}

2 years later, this helped someone. I did edit it be removing the clamps.
