SetCursor( Texture2D texture, Vector2 hotspot, CursorMode cursorMode)
From the documentation, ( which I strongly suggest you check out) we know we need these parameters: We will break this up into two lines of code to make the meaning more explicit. This is the standard variable declaration in programming - scope - type - name Cursor Setting We need an image, or Texture2D, and we are calling it crosshair. This line exposes the cursor texture in the inspector, so we will be able to set it there.
Cursor Import public Texture2D crosshair We need to create a new script ( New > C# Script) and call it “ setCursor.cs”. We will be using Unity’s custom cursor function (click to check the docs) and setting the cursor with it. The specific function to set custom cursors ( Answer)ĭid you find it? If so, good job! If not, don’t worry, and practice more - see if you can find how to take in input from the right arrow on a keyboard, or how to set the text field of a UI text object.The class that allows you to set, manipulate and use cursors ( Answer).Let’s develop this skill by finding the function to set a cursor in this exercise. Traversing the documentation and finding answers to your own questions is definitely an important skill to have.
This is an essential skill for all developers, and Unity’s documentation is quite nice so it shouldn’t be too difficult. Reading Unity Documentation (Optional)Ī good exercise for the reader would be to try to find out what function we are going to use from the Unity documentation. This will make sure your colours are reproduced accurately, at the cost of size (though, for a cursor sprite, the size shouldn’t be very big). Most importantly, you’ll have to change the texture type to Cursor in the inspector with your cursor texture selected.Īdditionally, for pixel textures like the one I will be using, set the filter mode to Clamp to disable anti-aliasing (so your texture doesn’t get blurred), and the Format to RGBA 32 bit if you have a colourful image that you don’t want compressed. You’ll want to import ( Import New Asset > /path/to/your/asset) your custom cursor into Unity, but you should change a few settings when you do this. You can make one in software like inkscape (free, extremely powerful vector image maker) or Aseprite (paid but cheap pixel art tool). jpeg, etc.) and probably with small dimensions. It must be an image file of some type (.png. Day 4: Trac3 Video Demo + Custom Crosshair Cursor Importingįirst, make sure you have your custom cursor sprite ready.
