Title: Cursor Flickering when hidden
Post by: ming on August 20, 2014, 08:38:44 PM

Hello all

im having an issue with SetMouseCursor, i want to hide the mouse cursor only (but NOT lock it)

to test it i made a  simple empty scene attach an fsm to the camera with 2 states 1 to hide the cursor and 1 to show it (both with globals to manually trigger them)

when i hide the cursor it flickers when over the game window, ive spent hours poking at it to no avail,

what i know so far is
lock cursor = hides cursor ? and locks it
hide cursor = flicker
lock and hide = ok
and i dont know if this may be another manifestation of it but after locking and hiding the cursor if i press escape to get the cursor back again it then flickers when not "hidden", any help much appreciated
thanks

I've noticed it doesn't work very well in the play window but when you build it will work. if it still is not hiding, I found this that works for me. Just throw the script on a game object.  http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/33570/how-to-hide-the-cursor.html (http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/33570/how-to-hide-the-cursor.html)

Quoted answer from the link: "If you want to hide the cursor through the entire game you should add the "Screen.showCursor = false"-code inside the Start function ;)"

Does this occur in your build or the editor?

Hello

thanks for your help, yes im in the editor i havent done a build of this project yet so maybe that will fix it, does this script work in the editor mode id love to get it to stop flickering so i can test properly, im developing for the oculus vr so flickering things flying about your head is annoying.

Hi, a bit late for the gathering. I've had the same issue recently. It seems to be related to the PlayMakerGUI object (find it in you Object Hierarchy) When i delete it, the flickering stops. However its quite a persistant little imp, as it spawns itself when ever a change is made in Playmaker, just banish it again.

Hope this helps.

To fix the problem, find PlaymakerGUI on your scene( don't delete it ), then just uncheck control mouse cursor, and your problem will be solved.
