Enable Mouse Cursor

#1 You can use Canvas.cursorOn() and Canvas.cursorOff() in any client-side script to enable/disable the cursor. Where you might use these depends on how you want the player to enable/disable the cursor. In my case I have a key bound to toggling the cursor (M).

To accomplish this I have a function in scripts/client/default.bind.cs that looks like this:

function toggleMouseLook(%val)
{
   if(%val)
   {
      if(Canvas.isCursorOn())
         Canvas.CursorOff();
      else
         Canvas.CursorOn();
   }
}

And in the same file you can manually bind that to a key like this:

moveMap.bind(keyboard, "m", toggleMouseLook);

Or else add it to the bind list so players can choose their own key. In core/scripts/gui/optionsDlg.cs around line 400 you'll find a list of binds that look like the code below. Add this one anywhere inside that list (they'll be listed in that order in the options, so put it somewhere that seems appropriate):

$RemapName[$RemapCount] = "Toggle Cursor";
$RemapCmd[$RemapCount] = "toggleMouseLook";
$RemapCount++;

Make sure that wherever you put it is after the previous bind's "$RemapCount++;" (unless you're adding it as the first bind). You can then hit ctrl-o, go to controls, and should see "Toggle Cursor" in the list.

Note that you shouldn't do both (manually bind it in default.bind.cs and add it to the bind list).

#2 Thanks Henry, that solved my problem.
