I want to make a crosshair that works like a mouse. The goal, as well as to work on phones, I tried a lot of ways, I searched, but nothing worked, can you help me with this.

You want like, a custom mouse? Sorry, I don’t understand your wording too well…
Do you plan to make this First-person?
so you want the mouse fixed in the middle of the screen, having a crosshairs icon?
Oh, you want something like a custom mouse icon? If you want to print something when ‘e’ is pressed, do this;
--LocalScript
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
mouse.Icon = 'rbxassetid://crosshair_id_here' --Put a crosshair decal id here
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(key) --Detects when the player presses a key
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then --If E was pressed
print(mouse.Target) --Prints the mouse's target
end
end)

Do you plan to have the camera locked?
No I said lock not block, do you plan to have the camera locked to the way the lookVector is facing
so you want like a gui or fake ui frame mouse icon is on the mouse?
I recently made something like this, if the mouse hovers over an object, a BillboardGui will be created in the object’s position. That billboard gui also shows the object name
(my english may be not perfect)
You mean ScreenGui, not billboard gui?
Yep, this is possible
yes of course. try using render step. and just tween it if its near on a interactable object…
local Frame = Ui_Object
local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local MouseXPos = Mouse.X
local MouseYPos = Mouse.Y
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
Frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(MouseXPos, MouseYPos), "Out", "Sine", .5, true)
--note: when the mouse is hovering an object has an value or object called "InteractableObject" it will
--do something
if Mouse.Target:FindFirstChild("InteractableObject") then
--Something that u want to happen to frame
else
--To tween it back
Frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(MouseXPos, MouseYPos), "Out", "Sine", .5, true)
end
end)
i dont know if that would really work though… I directly typed that here.
wait im trying to do that rn…
try this?
spawn(function()
local Frame = script.Parent.FakeMouse
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
Mouse.Icon = "rbxassetid://" -- mouse i can u want
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
local MouseXPos = Mouse.X
local MouseYPos = Mouse.Y
Frame.Position = UDim2.new(0, MouseXPos,0, MouseYPos)
--note: when the mouse is hovering an object has an value or object called "InteractableObject" it will
--do something
if Mouse.Target ~= nil then
--Something that u want to happen to frame
if Mouse.Target:IsA("BasePart") then
if Mouse.Target:FindFirstChild("InteractableObject") then
--Stuff that will happen when it hover it
print("Interact")
end
end
else
--To tween it back
Frame.Position = UDim2.new(0, MouseXPos,0, MouseYPos)
end
end)
end)
The crosshairs you then place on the screen via a gui.
In regard to pressing ‘E’ - this won’t work in with your current idea of having a keyboard check if you want this to work with phones, as phones don’t have keyboards. For that, you’d need to add a GUI button for the users to press, or wait for screen taps and then run your code.
-- set up
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local IO = game:GetService 'UserInputService'

local length = 500 -- how far we shoot our ray
-- private
local function getCameraFocus(ignore_list) -- Shoots a ray from the centre of the viewport frame (the camera), whilst ignoring the gui inset
local viewportSize = camera.viewportSize
local unitRay = camera:ScreenPointToRay(viewportSize/2, viewportSize.y/2)
local ray = Ray.new(unitRay.Origin, unitRay.Direction * length)
return game.Workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(ray, ignore_list)
end
