Default Roblox cursor texture?

For some reason, I am not able to change a mouse cursor’s texture to the default one (Yes I’ve tried: “http://www.roblox.com/asset?id=” and it still doesn’t work). This happens after I change the cursor previously and then try changing it back to the default one, does anybody happen to know the file name of the default cursor? (For example: “rbxasset://textures\GunCursor.png” “GunCursor.png” is the cursor’s name, I’ve tried “Cursor” and “DefaultCursor”).

That seems surprisingly odd…

That should usually work.
Here are some Solutions:
Copy the file, and use it.
Resetting Studio.

Hope that helps!

You can actually just do

Mouse.Icon = [[ ]]  --Weird formatting cuz I’m on my phone.

And it will reset to default. Just make it an empty string.

In normal string definition that is Mouse.Icon = "" :wink:

If you give it a full asset URL (without the numbers) it’ll end up thinking you’re trying to give it something. To show the default cursor, you have to make it clear that you aren’t linking to a custom one, and that is what the empty string is for.

I thought an empty string made it have no image at all?

Nope. As @EmeraldSlash explained, an empty string basically tells it to stop using any custom cursor icon.

You need to fix the slash like this:
rbxasset://textures/GunCursor.png

If you put rbxasset://textures\GunCursor.png in the Properties window, Studio will auto-fix it to the right slash direction for you, but this doesn’t happen if you set the texture programmatically.

If you want the default cursor (for use outside of just Mouse.Icon) you can use rbxasset://textures/ArrowFarCursor.png, rbxasset://textures/ArrowCursor.png, or even rbxasset://textures/advCursor-white.png (plus rbxasset://textures/MouseLockedCursor.png if you want to have the locked mouse cursor).

I hope this helps

Quick edit: I found the files in my AppData/Local/Roblox/Versions folder
I also didn’t realize that this post was from so long ago

btw is there a glitch in roblox studio becuz i tried changing the cursor with script but its not loading here it is :
and also it dont return back to normal when using empty string

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local humanoid = plr.Character.Humanoid
local run = game:GetService("RunService")
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local souns = Instance.new("Sound")
souns.Parent = script
souns.Name = "Shooted"
souns.SoundId = "rbxassetid://560908171"
local relodSound = Instance.new("Sound")
relodSound.Parent = script
relodSound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://3606136833"
relodSound.Name = "reloadsoun"
local aiming = false
local aimcf = CFrame.new()

local gun = game.ReplicatedStorage.Weapons.glockarm:Clone()
local s = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.WeaponsModules:WaitForChild("Glock18"))

gun:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(cam.CFrame)

run.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	gun:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(cam.CFrame 
		*s.weaponpos
		*aimcf
	)
	if aiming then
		aimcf = aimcf:Lerp(s.AimCFrame, 0.1)
	else
		aimcf = aimcf:Lerp(CFrame.new(), 0.1)
	end
end)

gun.Parent = cam

local idle = gun.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(game.ReplicatedStorage.WeaponsModules.Glock18.Anim.idle)

idle:Play()

local shoot = gun.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(game.ReplicatedStorage.WeaponsModules.Glock18.Anim.shoot)
local Mouse = plr:GetMouse()
Mouse.Icon ="http://www.roblox.com/asset?id=57571496"
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	shoot:play()
	souns:Play()
	
Mouse.Button2Down:connect(function()	
		aiming = true
	end)
	
	Mouse.Button2Up:connect(function()	
		aiming = false
	end)
	
	game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input, Game)
		if Game == true then return end
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
			local reload = gun.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(game.ReplicatedStorage.WeaponsModules.Glock18.Anim.reload)
			reload:Play()
				relodSound:play()
		end
	end)
end)
plr.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.LockFirstPerson

local function onDied()
	gun.Parent.Parent = nil;
	souns:Remove()
	relodSound:Remove()
	plr.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.Classic
	Mouse.Icon =""
	end


local function onUpdate(dt)
	gun:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(cam.CFrame)
	Mouse.Icon ="http://www.roblox.com/asset?id=57571496"
end

humanoid.Died:Connect(onDied);

run.RenderStepped:connect(onUpdate)
gun:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(cam.CFrame*s.weaponpos)

I can see that you accidentally wrote the asset ID incorrectly. You forgot about the “/” after asset in “http://www.roblox.com/asset/?=

What I do suggest is replacing the old asset format with the new one here:

Mouse.Icon = "rbxassetid://[ID]"

It will save you time writing “http://www.roblox.com/asset/?=” over and over for the future

I fixed it up for you right here

    local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    local humanoid = plr.Character.Humanoid
    local run = game:GetService("RunService")
    local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera

    souns.Parent = script
    souns.Name = "Shooted"
    souns.SoundId = "rbxassetid://560908171"
    local relodSound = Instance.new("Sound")
    relodSound.Parent = script
    relodSound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://3606136833"
    relodSound.Name = "reloadsoun"
    local aiming = false
    local aimcf = CFrame.new()

    local gun = game.ReplicatedStorage.Weapons.glockarm:Clone()
    local s = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.WeaponsModules:WaitForChild("Glock18"))

    gun:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(cam.CFrame)

    run.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
    	gun:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(cam.CFrame 
    		*s.weaponpos
    		*aimcf
    	)
    	if aiming then
    		aimcf = aimcf:Lerp(s.AimCFrame, 0.1)
    	else
    		aimcf = aimcf:Lerp(CFrame.new(), 0.1)
    	end
    end)

    gun.Parent = cam

    local idle = gun.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(game.ReplicatedStorage.WeaponsModules.Glock18.Anim.idle)

    idle:Play()

    local shoot = gun.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(game.ReplicatedStorage.WeaponsModules.Glock18.Anim.shoot)

oh thanks a lot man for this :smiley:

You can access the default mouse icon via the files.

To apply the default mouse, use the following code lines:

local Players= = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
Mouse.Icon = "rbxasset://textures/Cursors/KeyboardMouse/ArrowFarCursor.png"

You can also get the default cursor by doing;

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
Mouse.Icon = ""

Unless you want to use a different cursor from the Roblox files; this is how you can set it to default without having to type in "rbxasset://textures/Cursors/KeyboardMouse/ArrowFarCursor.png" every time you need to change it to default. Just a small tip if you want it to be easier (or if the default cursor changes again for some reason).

And you have tested this and made sure it works?

Yes, I have. It’s something I have used in multiple scripts without any issues. One thing I know is that setting Mouse.Icon to nil will result in an error, but setting it to "" will not as it will return the cursor back to the default state. It will revert all cursor changes back to the default cursor Roblox has set. It shows on the DevForum.

Alright, didn’t know that. lol

Ey, no problem with telling ya about it. Nothing wrong with learning something new every so often :grin:

You could Store the default cursor in a variable before changing it

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local HitCursor = 'http://www.roblox.com/asset?id=123456789'
local defaultCursor = mouse.Icon
hit.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(target)
     mouse.Icon = HitCursor --change cursor
     wait(0.1)
     mouse.Icon = defaultCursor --revert back to default one 
end)
