Centre cursor - Unity 5 (not locking or making invisible)
The legacy way of locking the cursor would set the cursor locked at the centre of the screen:
Screen.lockCursor = true;
The new way of locking the cursor is fine apart from the cursor is locked in position wherever it was at the start of the game:
Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
Cursor.visible = false;
How do I move the cursor to the centre of the screen so that players can still click on buttons etc?
This is probably a duplicate question (from another one I can't find right now).
If you set the cursor to the center of the screen, why do you need the cursor position to do anything? If it's a 3D button just send a raycast through the center of the screen (check example here), if it's 2D then check if your sprite rect contains the center point of the screen.
Of course I could do a raycast, but Unity 4.6+ with the new GUI system handles hover and click detection with the cursor on buttons for you, so why do the extra work?
Found the question (it was a thread in the forum) here.
If it's GUI then I don't know why you would lock the cursor (how would you click on a topright corner button?).
The first 3 entries I got by googling "unity set cursor position" where quite useful. Specially this one.
There's also an asset that apparently does what you need (I havent tried it).
I contacted the asset creator and it sounds like it's essentially the same technique (import the windows dll). Thanks, it works. Will have to see how it effects builds across platforms.
