Switch Cursor Prefab in Unity Ui Cursor Rendering
Hi Chris, I hope you can help me. So I am looking to switch the Unity UI Cursor rendering depending on witch player character is currently active. I had this all set up working well when using Software Cursor rendering where I replaced the textures for each cursor using the below action template.
Are you able to show me how I would tweak the below to switch the Cursor Prefab from RealWorldCursorUI prefab to VillageCursorUi prefab?
See screenshots:

Thanks!

Hi Chris, first apologies for the mess of my original post! I thought I had selected all the code and applied the code tab to it! I have updated your new code but it does not reveal a section to it to now switch the cursor prefab? Ideally I would have two scripts, my original where if using software I can change the textures and a new action where if I am using Unity UI I am able to choose a new Unity Ui Cursor Rendering prefab. My custom action has so far not changed with the new code.
UPDATE there is an error in console:
Assets/Sleepytime Village/Scripts/CustomActions/ChangeCursorsAction.cs(112,31): error CS0266: Cannot implicitly convert type 'UnityEngine.Object' to 'UnityEngine.GameObject'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)
Try it now.
