Hey, I know I have been asking you guys a lot of scripting questions for this game but this should be the final one before I put the game in beta testing! I am making an old ROBLOX simulator and made a script that gives everybody the old ROBLOX mouse. But whenever the mouse hovers over a button it changes to the new one. How would I make the cursor stay the same when it hovers over a button.

Please do research before reaching out for help here, if you couldn’t, here you go
local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
Mouse.Icon = "rbxassetid://696969"

local uis = game.UserInputService
game["Run Service"].RenderStepped:Connect(function()
uis.MouseIcon = "" -- set to whatever the asset link is
end)

To extend onto this, using :GetMouse() isn’t the best way to do this anymore, as :GetMouse() is deprecated. You can use the UserInputService to do this. It’s a very similar solution, as explained in a lot more detail here:
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UIS.MouseIcon = "rbxassetid://696969"

Wouldn’t setting the MouseIcon overwrite that behaviour? If not, maybe @Corruptonator has the right idea, by updating the mouse icon every render stepped, but to assure it’s updating in the first possible point before the frame renders, it might be better to use BindToRenderStep. Like so:
local RunS = game:GetService("RunService")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
RunS:BindToRenderStep("MouseIconUpdater", Enum.RenderPriority.First.Value, function(step)
UIS.MouseIcon = "rbxassetid://696969"
end)
This way, we can guarantee that before anything else happens before the frame renders, that mouse icon is updated first. The only way I see this not working is if the mouse icon update happens later, which I have a funny feeling it does.

ill test it out but im pretty sure roblox doesnt actively change the icon of the mouse when you hover over a gui button, they just dont display the custom cursor

If not, it’s a bit hacky for sure, but could he not set a GUI frame that updates to the mouses position upon an UserInputService InputChanged event on MouseMovement? And set it’s Z-Index to be above everything else, toggling the ‘Visible’ property of the frame to be false every time the user hovers over any other GUI?

yeah thats exactly what the post i linked above suggested except they suggested using an ImageLabel instead. I’m not too sure why they don’t just allow you to customise the cursor hovering over a button though

Oh, I didn’t read that haha. If that’s the case then that post should help the OP for sure, they definitely should, they already allow the changing of the cursor icon with ClickDetectors CursorIcon property.

yeah i hope it will, and about the cursor icon, i meant specifically GUI buttons

What I don’t understand is that the game RetroStudio has it so when you hover over a button it still shows that old cursor.

just use a click detect script in your Gui button and a click detector with cursor id in a physical button
