Sending you a vouncher code in private , enjoy your free plugin

 

Either make it free, or make a free no-support version. I can't afford to buy stuff from Unity, so I can do NOTHING.

 

The plugin does exactly what it says it does, i don't remember not answering to a question ever made. Please describe me your problem or send me an email at DarknessBlade.original@gmail.com to assist you further.

 

Hello! Interested in your plugin.

I need to create a simulated cursor on the screen to interact with UI elements.

I need to be able to move the cursor with a gamepad joystick. I'm sure I can code the gamepade to interact with your cursor functions but want to make sure that from what you can tell it would work for me.

I'll also be trying it on PS4 so was curious if you knew if it supported that platform.

Thank you.

 

Hello maxaud , you will be able to click gui and move the mouse with a gamepad joystick but the plugin will only work on windows :/
If you decide to buy and can't get it to work with the gamepad just pm me and i will help.

 

Thanks for the prompt response. The PS4 compatibility is my biggest hurdle at the moment.

 

Could you tell me a little more about the LocalPosition functions? Do they work on the position of the game window in the editor or the entire editor? Do they work on the entire window size in the windows player, or only the content area? are they normalized?

 

SetLocalPosition made to work flawlessly with unity-mouse-input.
In the editor if for example you do HardwareCursor.SetLocalPosition(0,0) it will teleport the cursor to bottom left corner of Game view window. It ignores window borders.
If you call HardwareCursor.SetLocalPosition(0,0) it ignores window borders again and sets cursor position to bottom left corner again. Moreover in the build : If you are in fullscreen mode, i have normalized the position so that it can work if you change the resolution of the screen !

Warning Set Global position aka SetPosition to (0,0) will set cursor to Top Left corner , dont confuse the 2 coordinate systems are totally different !!

P.S. remember to use GetPosition and GetLocalPosition to get mouse position if you need to.

 

One last thing , remember regardless when you call SetLocalPosition and SetPosition (global) you can always set the position outside unity window you are not limited by any means.

 

Does this plugin work with Unity 2017.1 and 2017.2 ?

 

How are you going with Mac and Linux support?

Cheers

 

I have not tested but it should work fine. If not please send me a message with the issue.

 

I start working for linux and mac this summer..

 

Asset got deprecated, i contacted the unity asset store team to assist me reuploading it. Thanks for your patience

 

Any update on it getting back on the Asset Store?

 

We are back baby !! Finally my version was accepted and fast this time :O

 

It says it only works on Windows but will it work if I build the game for Mac and Linux using my Windows PC?

Does it work on Unity 2017.3.1 using (Experimental .Net 4.6) ?

 

It works on (Windows Editor, Windows Build) only.
It works 100% in Unity 2017.3.1

EDIT: .Net 4.6 works 100% !!!

 

Does this asset use the winapi function? I am looking for an asset that can control the cursor without using winapi.

 

It does use Microsoft's WinForms, which will work only on windows OS. I am not completely sure if Forms are part of win api. I think they are different if you are referring to win32 api

 

Hi,

Does this still work with Unity 5?

I'm using Unity 5.6.6f2 and your plugin works fine in the editor but when I do a Windows Standalone build I get this error:

and

I can confirm that System.Drawing.dll and System.Windows.Forms.dll are present in the Plugins folder and the player settings are set to .NET 2.0

 

If this is the only warning you are getting then it should work just fine.
I just tested on unity 5.6.6f2 and it works as expected.

If you have problems with your project just check the "output_log.txt" for clues where your error is.
To confirm my plugin works, import it in an empty project and test build it.

 

Thanks for the quick reply.
I was mainly concerned I was using it incorrectly but if that error message is expected then that's a big weight off my mind.
Cheers,
Wyvernn

 

Sure, this message is harmless you can ignore it or block it but i don't remember how.

 

Does this work on the Latest Unity 2018.3?

 

Yes it does, if you get any problems please contact me and i will fix them asap.

 

Before buying this plugin. Could you help my to confirm if it's doable with this plugin.
I'm working on a feature to synchronize the cursor between different players in a multiplayer game. I'm thinking to use this plugin to do that. My plan is to get the host's position of cursor and sync the position to other players in the room.
We need to support iOS, Android, Mac and Windows. Thanks for your advice.

 

It should be possible yes, but my plugin only works on windows OS..

 

hi, did you get this working for mac?

 

no, so far its windows only and i haven't had any opportunity to make it mac compatible since i don't own a mac yet...

 

• got this in 2019.3.2f1

Microsoft (R) Visual C# Compiler version 2.9.1.65535 (9d34608e)

fixed in .net4X

 

Yes read the instructions and if you are using a unity version of 2018 and above instead of .NET 2.0 put .NET 4.x

Thank you for posting this.

 

For any who want to roll their own code...

Lockstate doesn't work in Editor properly but will work in Standalone on Mac or PC builds just fine.

For the Editor, I came up with a very legit way to move the mouse cursor and another to force a mouse click event because Unity is so annoying in not letting you do this when using Cursor.lockState. Now you can set Cursor.lockState and/or Cursor.visibility in Start() and call either of the following below to force the mouse to behave. (Verified working in macOS Big Sur, Unity 2021.1.17)

Stupid easy way to force mouse cursor position to center of game window in editor only from code:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine.InputSystem;
2. using UnityEngine.InputSystem.LowLevel;
3.  
4. public static void ForceMousePositionToCenterOfGameWindow()
5.     {
6. #if UNITY_EDITOR
7.         // Force the mouse to be in the middle of the game screen
8.         var game = UnityEditor.EditorWindow.GetWindow(typeof(UnityEditor.EditorWindow).Assembly.GetType("UnityEditor.GameView"));
9.         Vector2 warpPosition = game.rootVisualElement.contentRect.center;  // never let it move
10.         Mouse.current.WarpCursorPosition(warpPosition);
11.         InputState.Change(Mouse.current.position, warpPosition);
12. #endif
13.     }

Stupid easy way to force click in game window in editor only from code:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine.InputSystem;
2. using UnityEngine.InputSystem.LowLevel;
3.  
4. public static void ForceClickMouseButtonInCenterOfGameWindow()
5.     {
6. #if UNITY_EDITOR
7.         var game = UnityEditor.EditorWindow.GetWindow(typeof(UnityEditor.EditorWindow).Assembly.GetType("UnityEditor.GameView"));
8.         Vector2 gameWindowCenter = game.rootVisualElement.contentRect.center;
9.  
10.         Event leftClickDown = new Event();
11.         leftClickDown.button = 0;
12.         leftClickDown.clickCount = 1;
13.         leftClickDown.type = EventType.MouseDown;
14.         leftClickDown.mousePosition = gameWindow;
15.  
16.         game.SendEvent(leftClickDown);
17. #endif
18.     }

 

Nice, will do this in the next update.

Hello this asset only works for Windows OS, no mac or linux support sadly.
