Hide Default Mouse?

[death by moogles]

I'm using Glitchfinder's mouse system and an evented mouse display system that uses a custom mouse graphic. When I move the mouse in-game, the default mouse displays as well as the custom one.

How do I hide the default mouse's graphic while it's inside of the game window?

Any help would be great :3

Wonderful! Thank you very much :3

Now, just for kicks, go to fullscreen and press F1. It's impossible to make a script detect F1 before the RGSS Player, so that little window will always pop up before you can make the mouse reappear.

It seems to work fine for me, but .I've had issues with full screen for a while now; Alt+Enter simply fills the area around the game screen with black. Would it be an issue for someone who didn't have this problem?

It would and all you can really do is say "don't press F1" which is a little sloppy really for a game.

@moogles: It doesn't work for you. What Glitch implies is that while you can bring up the F1 window normally, you can't see your cursor while hovering over it, forcing you to guess it's position. The second sentence says it's impossible to counter-act by scripting. However, I don't see how this is any related to fullscreen issues.

Well, that sucks. Is there any work-around for this? Also, what's up with my full screen? It hasn't worked since I started using a new computer.

Well, as for fullscreen, I guess it's resolution-dependant... as in it scales the screen according to the maximum exact resolution (default being 640x480 would mean it's be shown as 1280x960 on any screen greater or larger than that, with black boarders around), however I didn't test this at all... all I can say is I got the black frame as well.

And no, there's no workaround for this other than maybe programming an entirely new RGSS Player (which is theoretically possible... I wonder if anyone tried...). Glitch already stated the reason: Before you can check for the F1 key being pressed (to show the cursor again), the RGSS Player checks for it and will therefore show the F1 window before your 'show the cursor' code will be executed. Also, I don't think there's a way to check wheather the window's been closed, meaning you'd have no way to determine when to dispose the cursor again.

Is there any work-around for this?

Read what BlueScope said: "it's impossible to counter-act by scripting"
The only option you have is to fully deactivate the F1-window for the player.


/edit: Noooo, I was too late D:

Ah, okay. Well, thanks for the information and for learning me so good!
