Hide main cursor but keep Hotspot icons

calli

Hi there,

I'm setting up my game for controller support and have hit a challenge.

I have a button to switch from Point and Click to controller support.
It triggers a custom event that switches:

• Detect hotspot: from mouse over to player vicinity
• Interaction menu appear: from AppearAtCursorAndFreeze to OnHotspot
• Hotspot icon display: from Never to OnlyWhenHighlighting

It all works great. Hotspots reveal their icons based on player proximity or when hitting CycleHotspot buttons.

But I can still see my main AC cursor and would like to hide it.
If I use Engine manage systems: Cursor Disabled, then the Hotspot icons also disappear.

My other cursor settings include:
• Display cursor: always
• Interaction actions: change cursor when over single-use Hotspots

Is there anything else I should set up?

Many thanks

Follow up details:

I am rendering the cursor via Software

I can achieve the desired effect if I start my game in "controller" mode with the following options toggled:

• Lock cursor in screen center when game begins
• Hide cursor when locked in screen center

However, I can't get the cursor to show again at runtime when I switch back to point and click mode.

I think what I need is just the option to Lock/Unlock and Show/Hide the cursor manually at runtime – not just when the game begins

Yes, that's it exactly. Keep "Hide cursor when locked in screen's centre?" checked, so that locking the cursor keeps it hidden.

To lock/unlock the cursor at runtime, you can use the Player: Constrain Action.

Aaaah got it, I didn't realise it was a player action.
Solved - thank you so much!!
