Question by IAmInNeedOfHelp · Nov 25, 2021 at 07:33 AM · c#scripting problem

Mouse no do what me need do

I have a script called "MouseBoi" because haha funny, and it controls my caveman style 3D camera, and I have a script called "PauseMenu", and when you hit tab, its supposed to activate a panel and stop time and blah blah blah for a pause menu, only problem is, it doesn't 100% show the mouse, instead, the mouse flickers very randomly. Scripts are below, and if this has already been asked/answered, then oop, my bad

MouseBoi

 {
     public Transform playerBody;
     public float mouseSensitivity = 400f;
     float xRotation = 0f;
 
     void Start()
     {
         Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
     }
 
     void Update()
     {
         float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;
         
 
         xRotation = 30;
         xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90f, 90);
 
         transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0f, 0f);
         playerBody.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX);
     }
 }

PauseMenu

 {
     public static bool GameIsPaused = false;
     public GameObject pauseMenuUI;
     
 
     void Update()
     {
         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Tab))
         {
             if (GameIsPaused)
             {
                 Resume();
             }
             else
             {
                 Pause();
                 
             }
         }
 
         if (GameIsPaused == true)
         {
             GameObject.Find("Camera.main").GetComponent<MouseBoi>().enabled = false;
             Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
             Cursor.visible = true;
         }
 
         if (GameIsPaused == false)
         {
             GameObject.Find("Camera.main").GetComponent<MouseBoi>().enabled = false;
             Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
             Cursor.visible = false;
         }
     }
 
     void Resume()
     {
         pauseMenuUI.SetActive(false);
         Time.timeScale = 1f;
         GameIsPaused = false;
     }
 
     void Pause ()
     {
         
         pauseMenuUI.SetActive(true);
         Time.timeScale = 0f;
         GameIsPaused = true;        
     }
 }

Help is greatly apricated in any way, shape, or form.

from what ou describe i'd assume that you set the mouse visibility state in some other script as well. Can you check i that is the case?

Other then that id suggest some simplifications for your code. If you have something like

          if (GameIsPaused == true)
          {
              GameObject.Find("Camera.main").GetComponent<MouseBoi>().enabled = false;
              Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
              Cursor.visible = true;
          }
  
          if (GameIsPaused == false)
          {
              GameObject.Find("Camera.main").GetComponent<MouseBoi>().enabled = false;
              Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
              Cursor.visible = false;
          }

you can write that complete code as

          Cursor.visible = GameIsPaused;
          GameObject.Find("Camera.main").GetComponent<MouseBoi>().enabled = false;
          Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;

without the ifelse with the same result. At this point i assume you have a bug in your code as you probably want to set the MouseBoi Script to enabled=True when the Game is not paused anymore. You currently set it to False in both cases.

Further you should not use GameObject.Find in Update. This is really bad for performance, especially if you have a lot of objects in your scene. Cache the result in a variable on startup and then use that reference.
