Custom cursor broken?

[Duion]

Inside the default template there is code to define a custom default cursor that you can modify.

https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/blob/c83efa59e0a11fc15c68afaf106807643191ac6f/Templates/Full/game/core/scripts/gui/cursors.cs#L34-L38

I tried adding a custom graphic for the cursor, but I noticed that the custom cursor is never loaded, the game will always use the default windows cursor.

So how can I make it work? Or is it never used or cannot work? If so can I delete it?

I recall in the past I had to add

overrideplatformcursor = true in guicanvas.cpp and h I will see if I can find the code

end of guiCanvas.h add this

protected:

bool mOverridePlatformCursor;

public:

void overridePlatformCursor( bool state = true )

{

mOverridePlatformCursor = state;

}

end of guiCanvas.cpp add this

ConsoleMethod( GuiCanvas, overridePlatformCursor, void, 2, 3, "(value=true)" )

{

bool value = true;

if( argc > 2 )

value = dAtob( argv[ 2 ] );

object->overridePlatformCursor( value );

}

in game script files main.cs at the end of createCanvas add this

if (isObject(Canvas))

Canvas.overridePlatformCursor(true);

return true;

in script cursors.cs add the new cursor

new GuiCursor(CrossHairCursor)

{

hotSpot = "8 8";

renderOffset = "0 0";

bitmapName = "core/art/gui/images/crosshair_white";

};

then any time in game script you want a different cursor

function MEvent::onMouseEnter(%this,%b,%point,%m)

{

Canvas.setCursor("CrosshairCursor");

}

Hope this helps...
