Unity UI Animated cursor

Hello, is it possible to set a sprite with animation as unity game cursor? I really need this please.

 

I too have been looking for something like this in a cursor system that I have been working on.

I think I can just change the cursor texture every so often, but this feels wrong for multiple reasons.

1. I have to store each frame of the animation as it's own texture which means no texture packing. Not too bad if it's only a 4 frame animation.
2. It would be nice to set the cursor in the background whilst a scene is loading and if there is a lag spike whilst the scene is loading the animation will stutter.

If anyone has any options or suggestions I guess post them and we can further the discussion for animated cursors in Unity.

 

Bump... there is only 1 tutorial of this on the entire internet. It uses the method described above where it just packs all your frames into an array and has explicit logic to loop through them. I thought there would be some built-in functionality where you can use some animated sprites or something.
