Strange hover cursor behaviour

[Pollux]

Hi there,

First of all - I don't much understand scripting...

But I wanted the cursor to change everytime it hovers over the exit hotspot.

I simply copypasted the code from a different game, because I am really a noob in this

the code says:

Code: ags

function Exit_MouseMoveG() { // makes sure cursor changes to warp when hovering on exit hotspot
	if (mouse.Mode != eModeUseinv) { // unless it's an inventory cursor, which overrides
		Mouse.SaveCursorUntilItLeaves();
		mouse.Mode = eModeLeaving;
	}
}

Also I have to have this in the header:

Code: ags

import function Exit_MouseMoveG();

and eventually the function is defined in the hotspod code like this:

Code: ags

function hZpetDoVestibulu_MouseMove()
{
Exit_MouseMoveD();
}

And... it works, so there is no problem... BUT it work only sometimes and sometimes the cursor stays changed... as you can see in this video:

sometimes the arrow down is kept and shows even in the inventory.

Any ideas how it could be fixed?

Thanks!

Oh... so no one actually know?

Interesting...

It seems pretty clear that it's the GUI causing this;  Mouse.SaveCursorUntilItLeaves();  is not an ideal way of implementing custom cursors though anyway.
There are several existing threads about exit arrows, there's should be a relatively recent in this or the Advanced forum.

a-HA!

If I understand correctly, the mouse.SaveCursorUntilItLeaves(); change cursor when hover over the hotspot and change it back to the previous one - however if the previous one is not the default one, but some other, it keeps the other.

Tha's what causes my cursor thing.

I need to find a better solution then!
