How to change mouse icon

Hello I’m trying to change the mouse’s icon.

right now I have:

mouse.Icon = "9126971632"

This works… barely. The mouse keeps changing back to the default mouse randomly and when the mouse hovers over a button it goes back to pointer.

I want the mouse to ALWAYS be the icon image no matter what.

example of it working (randomly)

then randomly it stops being the shooter icon

local icon_id = '9126971632'

mouse.Icon = icon_id 
mouse:GetPropertyChangedSignal('Icon'):Connect(function()
	if mouse.Icon ~= icon_id  then
        mouse.Icon = icon_id 
    end
end)

i tried it and it still is not working :frowning:

in fact, for some reason, now it NEVER works. The mouse used to change but now it NEVER changes to the shooter icon

#5

what if you changed it to just this;

mouse.Icon = 'rbxassetid://9126971632' 

local mouse = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local icon_id = 'rbxassetid://9126971632'

mouse.Icon = icon_id
mouse:GetPropertyChangedSignal('Icon'):Connect(function()
	if mouse.Icon ~= icon_id  then
		mouse.Icon = icon_id 
	end
end)

the above code worked for me and should ENSURE it stays

that works but your event never fires

#7 
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
mouse.Icon = "rbxassetid://9126971632"
end)

Try this.

this is bad for optimization, Isn’t it?

#9

Try what I just added to mine, it should work now

#10

Nope, It shouldn’t be if you add an if check to see if the mouse icon is that already. Plus it doesn’t lag that much.

#11

your getpropertychangedsignal event never fires. i tested with print, it never fires.

also i tested with the correct ID and it still never fires

#12

Then to be honest, I can’t help any further without doing something similar to what @LambHubGoBrrrrr is doing, I’d try his because that SHOULD work

#13 
local RunService = game:GetService(“RunService”)
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
if mouse.Icon ~= “rbxassetid://9126971632” then
mouse.Icon = “rbxassetid://9126971632”
end
end)

This is to make the perfomance better.

#14

Your solution doesn’t work either. I tried it and i hovered over a button, and the mouse gets changed to the select mouse icon.

#15

That always happens, there is no way around it I think.

#16

You could also try this :
If it has an error I didn’t test in studio I wrote this in the devforum.

mouse.Changed:Connect(function()
if mouse.Icon ~= “rbxassetid://9126971632” then
mouse.Icon = “rbxassetid://9126971632”
end
end)

i found “Sort of” a solution. by disabling active it makes the mouse not change when hovering over buttons but it still changes when it clicks. This is fine. Also i can tell you’re on mobile lol by your fancy apple parenthesis

apple parenthesis: ”
Normal parenthesis: "

#18

That is also a solution but you are wrong I am not on mobile.

You’re not using a keyboard then

I am using a keyboard by the way it just happens when you are not writing the script in studio.
