Question

Is there a code allowing me to add a custom mouse cursor for my game? If so, an example would be nice.

I use this one:

var originalCursor : Texture2D;


var cursorSizeX: int = 32;  // set to width of your cursor texture
var cursorSizeY: int = 32;  // set to height of your cursor texture

static var showOriginal : boolean = true;

function Start(){
Screen.showCursor = false;
//Screen.lockCursor = true;
}


function OnGUI(){

    if(showOriginal == true){
        GUI.DrawTexture (Rect(Input.mousePosition.x-cursorSizeX/2 + cursorSizeX/2, (Screen.height-Input.mousePosition.y)-cursorSizeY/2 + cursorSizeY/2, cursorSizeX, cursorSizeY),originalCursor);
    }


}

Well, -cursorSizeX/2 + cursorSizeX/2 doesn't make much sense :D. If you just use the mouse position the texture will be right down. For arrows that points into the top left that's good, but if you have a centered cursor you should just subtract the half size. Anyways it's quite the easiest way to implement a cursor. +1

You shouldn't use Input functions in OnGUI code...use Event.current instead, then you don't have to convert screen coords to gui coords.

Good, now can any of you tell me how I can create an animation that loops and changes the cursor size (Bigger, then smaller, then repeat)?

click on your cursor game object, then click on the animation tab. right click the scale.x under "transform" then choose "add curves". Right click on the scale.x curve and add a second keyframe a few seconds out, then drag that keyframe up a little. Press play, you will see your object get wider as time goes on. Do the same thing for scale.y or scale.z, depending on how your camera is set up. then in the bottom right, change "default" to "loop"

i use this C#(C sharp) script

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class mousePointer : MonoBehaviour { public Texture2D cursorImage;

private int cursorWidth = 32;
private int cursorHeight = 32;

void Start()
{
    Screen.showCursor = false;
}


void OnGUI()
{
    GUI.DrawTexture(new Rect(Input.mousePosition.x, Screen.height - Input.mousePosition.y, cursorWidth, cursorHeight), cursorImage);
}

}
