Title: Mouse Pick Event to Change Cursor with Array
Post by: acornbringer on February 15, 2017, 09:45:53 AM

Hi there!

I would like to change the cursor texture when the player mouses over various colliders in the scene. I'm able to get the desired result if I use "Mouse Pick Event" and specify a single game object but when I try to use a variable instead, no events are sent. I'm using a global array variable filled with all the game objects I want to include.

I'm trying to avoid having a Mouse Pick Event specifying all the objects individually or needing to put "Mouse Enter" and "Mouse Exit" events on all the colliders in the scene.

Am I going about this properly? Maybe I'm misunderstanding how arrays work. Any help would be appreciated.

I did some more searching and making attempts and found that the Mouse Pick Event only picks individual game objects or a game object variable. I must have been confused when I thought creating a game object array variable was accepted in this action.

Is it possible for a mouse pick action to detect an array of game objects or perhaps the game object's tag? I'm not sure how to let my FSM know that I moused over any one of a large number of game objects.
