Change TGEA mouse cursor

by Andrew Edmonds · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 04/22/2008 (6:10 am) · 4 replies

Hi there,

I am trying to change the mouse cursor on the startup gui. I created a new GuiCursor and pointed that to my new cursor png, and then used Canvas.setCursor("myNewCursor"); but that didn't change anything.

So then I changed the defaultCursor's bitmapName to my new png, but that did not change anything either.

Am I missing something?

Thanks all.

    That's strange. Have you deleted your DSO's? Checked your console log for errors?

    Hi Mark.

    I've deleted the DSO's and there's nothing in the console log of interest. The strange thing is it doesn't even use the defaultCursor on a stock 1.7.0 T3D game. I'm running on Vista, and it just uses my system cursor.

    Exactly the same problem here , it seems the class GuiCursor ins't active at the moment on TGEA 1.8.1 too... The onRender method is never called..... :(

    mmmmmmmmmm it seeems that if you use lockmouse(true) you use the torque mouse, instead , if you use lockmouse(off) you use the windows mouse system... Try lockmouse(true) !!!
