Voice sounds fine :) Although, I've noticed in quite a few of your videos that it sounds like you record your voice a bit too hot. In other words, it sounds like it's clipping every now and then. Other than that, your content is amazing! Short, straight to the point and educational. Love your tutorials! :)
Thanks Thomas ! Yep I see what you mean for the clipping. The reason it sounds that way is actually because I cut the video in certain parts so there aren't too many pauses (and so the video is shorter). But I'll definitely be improving the way I cut up the audio so it sounds less choppy :) cheers !
That's probably due to the placement of your sprite cursor's pivot point (in other words the little blue circle) ! Just tweak that a little in the sprite editor and things should work well :) ! Hope this helps !
For the Ori and the blind forest effect, you can actually just use 1 particle system and change "Simulation Space" from local to world space and it should work as intended without the performance hit of instantiating new particle systems! Hope this helps anyone who wants to do that!
Hopefully people will see this. It would be better to use a looping particle system for the trail. That way you game is not constantly spawning the trail and it would free up a bit of processing.
Using This Script My Cursor Is In fact moving. The Only Problem Is That It Is In The Bottom Left of The Screen. It does coorespond to the movement of the mouse, but it doesn't move far as it only goes around a little bit, not leaving the far left bottom corner. Please help
Dayem bro, I hope I'm not late, I had the same problem, BUT I FOUND THE RESOLUTION! Basically the thing Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint() is an idiotism, delete it, so it will look like this: Vector2 cursorPos = Input.mousePosition; At least it's working like this for me, I hope it will work for you too!
I get the error message "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" with the line Vector2 cursorPos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition); I don't know why I'm getting this error.
Not working for me, i had to make a few changes in order to make it work, her's my script if someone needs it: public class MouseCursor : MonoBehaviour { void OnGUI() { Cursor.visible = false; } void Update() { transform.position = new Vector2(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y); } }
Small tip on the cursor trqail...just create a script that follows the mouseposition in worldspace. now create a particle system that spawn particles over distance! now your have particle system that spawns particles relative to the amount of your movement
Nice vid, but my cursor appears under all the UI elements that are on the canvas. I tried making the cursor a rectTransform and put it under the canvas, but I can't figure out how to convert the coordinates from world point to whatever the canvas is using.
If you're following this tutorial I would highly recommend putting Cursor.visible = false; into Update method since people can alt-tab from your game and then the cursor will be visible.
Hi Blackthornprod!!! I LOVE YOUR VIDS :) :) :). Ever since i started wathcing them, i felt you were really the guy who could teach me coding. Keep up the good work.
True enough ! You'll have to make your cursor a UI image instead ! Should of definitely shown how to do so in the video, and certainly will in a future tutorial ! Thanks for pointing that out :)
Solved it by making a UI image and and adding a Rect Transform, script is almost same as the one in the video except Rect Transform instead of Transform. Here the final product of cursor :D prnt.sc/kbbmv7 Keep up the good work, loving your videos.
For those of you looking to put this on top of everything, create a Canvas set to Screen Space - Overlay and make sure the sort order is higher than your other Overlay canvas'. Then create an Image on that canvas that will store your Cursor. Anchor it to the top left with a pivot point of (0, 1) and set the position to 0,0. Lastly, uncheck Raycast Target on the image. Add the cursor script to set mouse position and it will line up exactly.
Thanks man, I was trying to update the cursor directly but your solution is much more versatile. I went one step further and added the sprites onto a canvas and used that as my cursor. Thanks again and good luck with the videos, sales for whispers and your next projects!
I've done this script exactly as shown, but whenever I start the game, the cursor does not show at all. I used the method where the cursor is a sprite overlay instead of the actual cursor. The position is following the mouse, and the image is visible when the script is disabled, the cursor graphic just disappears when following the cursor. Does anyone have a fix?
@@captainorigami7518 Yes I did actually, I just deleted my script and made a new one, then deleted the game object and made a new one for that, too. I think I just messed up something in settings (since I checked tons of boxes while trying to find a solution). It will work, though!

Hey, noa. Thank you so much for the hard work you put up on making these tutorials.I am really learning so much. It would be awesome if you taught about the touch phases and such kinds of stuff to use in mobile game development. Like moving a character or player with swipe of finger. I am getting stuck while making a game cause i dont get how the touch functions work in unity. And also many peoples here would also probably want that kind of tutorials.
I've been scouring the internet for a few days now, trying to figure out how to change the actual cursor itself dynamically, but couldn't find anything close to what I was trying to do. The whole "get a sprite to follow your cursor and hide your cursor" is simple, elegant, and exactly what I've been looking for!
Nice tutorial! There is no need to create a destroyer script for effects since the particle effect has a method built in to destroy itself. There is a stop action option toward the bottom of the first panel of particle effect settings from which you can choose destroy.
Nevermind, I went on docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Cursor-visible.html and copy and pasted their code. I don't rlly know what was the problem, but im glad i found a solution!
I like this video, but I have a problem. When I start the game in editor, the Console shows: NullReferenceException : Object reference not set to an instance of an object. I hope you can help me.
@@TheWestonini I did that and it didn't work. I found a better way to do it anyway. public class CustomCursor : MonoBehaviour { [SerializeField] Texture2D crosshair; void Start() { Cursor.SetCursor(crosshair, new Vector2(256, 256), CursorMode.Auto); } } My cursor icon is 512*512 px, and the hotspot is half of that, or Vector2(256, 256), so the center of the pointer is the center of my cursor image. Just make sure you cursor icon/image is set to cursor instead of UI in the inspector.
Make sure that your .cs file isn't named "Cursor", this will affect the execution of the code! All you have to do is just rename the file and the text after "public class" (in the 5th line if I'm not mistaken)
Yes for that, you need to have a reference to the Animator component of the Cursor's gameObject in the script which contains the function which will be called when the button is clicked. Then just set the condition, whatever you have chosen be it a trigger or bool.
I swear cursor are cursed for me lol. Windows, Unity none of them want to change my cursor, no matter what i do. *Sigh* Although despite my failure your video is awsome! Clear instruction and upbeat tone make a huge difference! immagonna smash my finger on that 'LIKE' button and slowly meander 'The Cursed One* over to caress the subscribe. There immediatley hunching down and retreating into the dark void that is the WEB.
Brackeys said you should NEVER use camara.main cause it does something like this(sry if something is wrong) : .... FindObjectWithTag("MainCamara")......
For particles - it's better to use Emission - Rate over Distance, and you can use only one particle system, assign it as a child to Cursor and not spawn new particle system each time you need it. But if you still need to spawn Particle Systems - it's better to use ParticleSystem.Stop() action instead of Destroy, and in Particle System -> Main settings -> Stop Action select Destroy. In this way it will stop generation particles, and after all particles will be done - it will destroy whole game object.

Am I the only one where things are not working wonderfully? I'm at @3:49 just trying to get the sprite to follow my mouse in a 3D environment, but when I play the scene, it only captures the first set of coordinates and then it doesn't change? The Image is stuck hovering in mid air. Anyone?
You need to change shit entirely son. First change the image back to cursor then make an empty game object and attach your script, no need for sprite renderers. Here is the script using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; public class Cursorscript : MonoBehaviour { [SerializeField] Texture2D cursorName; // Start is called before the first frame update void Start() { Cursor.SetCursor(cursorName, Vector2.zero, CursorMode.Auto); } // Update is called once per frame void Update() { } } save and attach your cursor picture to the script slot you made for Texture2D. No need for thanks GTFO!
Hey Bobby :) ! Well Adobe Ps is awesome for traditional frame by frame animation, I'm afraid I've never had a go with Animate CC so I can't tell you much on that point. You could also try Spine which is great for 2D bone based animation (Unity's simple animation features is also great)

for method 2 set the image to not a raycast target or unity thinks you click on the mouse. (this took me a while to work)
how do you deal with lag between hardware cursor and sprite on canvas? the lag looks bad when mouse is moved and cursor feels sluggish.
for pixel art i reccomend 15 x 15 and changing the sprite settings to bilinear to no filter(pixel perfect)
What can I do to prevent the cursor from being under buttons?
Instead of making the Cursor a gameObject, make it a UI image, and change 'transform' to 'rect transform' in the script. Should work

Thanks in advance for looking into my script.
@Sushid00 well, at least you tried
your videos are the best for my game project!
Nice video, Thx
btw, can you tutorial about How to Build Unity Project to Android (apk) and set up the android sdk?
Thx for your awesome video
Doesn't work, I changed to a cursor I got from unity store, and placed it where yours is, but in game I still get these weird multicolored lines , that make up a weirdly transparent ISh tiny square. What might be going on ?
In the Inspector, set the texture's Texture Type to "Cursor" instead of "Sprite(2D and UI)".

hell nao
Thanks 😇 you so much for your great response . But please make the steps you followed to improve your art work in 2d and 3d.
I hate you cuz i love you so im addicted to your videos
Hey Noah! How would one go about disabling the mouse completely while still maintaining button functionality from the Input built into Unity?
I was looking for such video, Thank You
Hey, noa. Thank you so much for the hard work you put up on making these tutorials.I am really learning so much. It would be awesome if you taught about the touch phases and such kinds of stuff to use in mobile game development. Like moving a character or player with swipe of finger. I am getting stuck while making a game cause i dont get how the touch functions work in unity. And also many peoples here would also probably want that kind of tutorials.
aaawh man, you could have wrote customice instead of that for the jokes 1 year ago.
Great ! you are covering a lot of stuff that really indie gamedevs should know ! THANKs a lot brother ;) !
Dude...I dunno how often you hear this, but I LOVE your tutorial videos. thank you!
Would be cool to know how to do this in perspective mode!
Am I the only one where things are not working wonderfully?
I'm at @3:49 just trying to get the sprite to follow my mouse in a 3D environment, but when I play the scene, it only captures the first set of coordinates and then it doesn't change? The Image is stuck hovering in mid air. Anyone?
Did you make sure that you are updating the position in Update() ?
You need to change shit entirely son.
First change the image back to cursor then make an empty game object and attach your script, no need for sprite renderers.
Here is the script
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class Cursorscript : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] Texture2D cursorName;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
Cursor.SetCursor(cursorName, Vector2.zero, CursorMode.Auto);
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
}
}
save and attach your cursor picture to the script slot you made for Texture2D.
No need for thanks GTFO!
Thx
I'm new to your channel. This is a nicely packed and very usefull episode. Thanks :)
Welcome to the family :) ! And thanks for the feedback !
Cool tutorial! Thanks!
Thanks! It helped me :)
Hey which is better for animations in unity animate or photoshop
Hey Bobby :) ! Well Adobe Ps is awesome for traditional frame by frame animation, I'm afraid I've never had a go with Animate CC so I can't tell you much on that point. You could also try Spine which is great for 2D bone based animation (Unity's simple animation features is also great)
Thank you for the well thought out tutorial and info.
Thank you! This is the video I was looking for
why don't you do a video on level design?
Could this sprite cursor work on UI? I created a cursor following these steps, but it failed when I moved the cursor onto the UI element. So sad.
turn off the "Raycast target" thing in the image
@@iamThePaleowarist Thank you I was trying to fix this issue.
Awesome video bro! Like your character! :D
my pixelart cursor is blurry how do i fix this?
when importing pixel art sprite , make sure you set your sprite to the correct pixels per unit , filter mode: point no filter, compression: None
When in doubt, add more 3D particle effects! 🎆🎇
Cheers for the video man :)
Thanks for the tut bro 💪
