Showing and Locking Cursor - JavaScript / JS

Hey thanks for the comment, i am still however having some issues with this.. no doubt I'm doing something wrong, but i went to the API about the Static Cursor variables and cannot get my head around the lockState Variable, yeh fair enough the Cursor.visable = true/false is easy as pie but.... whats all this? and how does this help me as to what im looking for... (im good at understanding things that are broken down, but when it comes to a whole bunch of random code that all looks the same in different cases just screws me over, and cannot make sense of it. eg. can this.... #pragma strict var wanted$$anonymous$$ode: CursorLock$$anonymous$$ode; // Apply requested cursor state function SetCursorState() { Cursor.lockState = wanted$$anonymous$$ode; // Hide cursor when locking Cursor.visible = (CursorLock$$anonymous$$ode.Locked != wanted$$anonymous$$ode); } function OnGUI() { GUILayout.BeginVertical(); // Release cursor on escape keypress if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$eyDown($$anonymous$$eyCode.Escape)) Cursor.lockState = wanted$$anonymous$$ode = CursorLock$$anonymous$$ode.None; switch (Cursor.lockState) { case CursorLock$$anonymous$$ode.None: GUILayout.Label("Cursor is normal"); if (GUILayout.Button("Lock cursor")) wanted$$anonymous$$ode = CursorLock$$anonymous$$ode.Locked; if (GUILayout.Button("Confine cursor")) wanted$$anonymous$$ode = CursorLock$$anonymous$$ode.Confined; break; case CursorLock$$anonymous$$ode.Confined: GUILayout.Label("Cursor is confined"); if (GUILayout.Button("Lock cursor")) wanted$$anonymous$$ode = CursorLock$$anonymous$$ode.Locked; if (GUILayout.Button("Release cursor")) wanted$$anonymous$$ode = CursorLock$$anonymous$$ode.None; break; case CursorLock$$anonymous$$ode.Locked: GUILayout.Label("Cursor is locked"); if (GUILayout.Button("Unlock cursor")) wanted$$anonymous$$ode = CursorLock$$anonymous$$ode.None; if (GUILayout.Button("Confine cursor")) wanted$$anonymous$$ode = CursorLock$$anonymous$$ode.Confined; break; } GUILayout.EndVertical(); SetCursorState(); }

be simply broken down to a single line command such as CursorLock$$anonymous$$ode.Confined/Locked/None;? because if so.. then how? I get an error of Assets/Inventory/Scripts/Other/InvPauseGame.js(93,44): BCE0034: Expressions in statements must only be executed for their side-effects.(which does not explain itself to me)

PLEASE NOTE!!!!!!! i have refrained from using javascript throughout a lot of my projects, as i dislike it very much, it has no Visual Studio Referencing help (eg. every command line i write tells me there is an error when in fact that script works perfectly), and C# for me is so much easier to understand.

As stated in the question... I'm using someone else's scripts that would take me way.. way too long to recreate in C#. I am still a novice in JavaScripting, but would say I'm quite moderate in C#... so some simplification might be in order for me to understand this terrible messy way of coding(Sorry if i offend some people, but honestly javascript has been awful and full of flaws and bugs ever since i started coding RuneScape Private Servers back in 2008.

EDIT:::: Even with getting the code to work with no errors i still get the error of either the mouse disappearing if i click on the screen.... which i want it to remain where it was clicked and remain visible..... and if that doesnt happen when i press 'tab' to open the Inventory the cursor will pop up for a very very short time but disappear before i even get a chance to do anything.... this is the current code i have that is giving me the error of the mouse disappearing really quickly short after opening the Inventory screen...

         if (ThePlayer != null && TheCamera != null)
         {
             Cursor.lockState = CursorLock$$anonymous$$ode.None;
             Cursor.visible = true;
 
         }

and btw if people are not answering this because there is so many questions already about this... well simply if people made more sense with helping people, and on top of that if unity stopped changing their API and just got something right for once. i went through every single question in relation on the first 3 pages on a few google searches... and not one of the 'Correct answers' helped me in any form.. there seems to be no working command/script for simply allowing the mouse to stay on screen for JS.... you would think it would be simple....

Try building the game and testing there. The editor has some overrides for mouse behaviour.

Hey there, thanks for the Comment, i did manage a build test before i posted the original question, but still that had no avail, it was the same as what the editor was doing.. That sounds awesome, an example code would be greatly appreciated!

     // todd's custom cursor script
         // very basic but should give you the idea
 
        // drag and drop images into the inspector

     public var buttonimage: Texture2D;
