How to make a different icon appear when hovering over a part with a click detector?

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. I want to make a custom cursor appear over a part containing a click detector.

  2. For some reason because my game is set to first-person only and the fact that I added a custom Mouse Icon, The Detectors icon will not show up

  3. I tried to change the icon option in the click detector but it doesn’t work. I also tried the code below

local clickDetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local icon = "rbxassetid://5945514392"

clickDetector.MouseHoverEnter:connect(function(player)
    local mouse = player:GetMouse()
    mouse.Icon = icon
end)

clickDetector.MouseHoverLeave:connect(function(player)
    local mouse = player:GetMouse()
    mouse.Icon = "rbxassetid://5945460343"
end)

Things you might need:

  1. Its a 1st person game, Meaning the camera mode is set to lockedtofirstperson
  2. I have used a custom mouse icon
  3. Ask for more info

Set the player mouse icon to a blank value so it goes back to the defualt and the clickdetector icon should wrk hopfully

The ClickDetector itself has a property called CursorIcon.

Is that perhaps what you’re looking to change?

yeah like @DumbSkid said, the click detector has a CursorIcon property for a custom cursor when you hover over the click detector, try changing it

Is it inside Local Script or Script?

If its in normal script then u can’t do player:GetMouse().

You can use remote Event when the mouse hovers in clickDetector and fire into client .
In a local script u can do

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
game.ReplicatedStorage.EventName.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
Mouse.Icon = " "-- ur icon id here --
end)

and again u can use another remote event to fire client to change into the default icon.
If I’m incorrect please correct me.

I’ve tried this and it doesn’t appear to work if you have a first person game

This is a bug caused by changing the Mouse.Icon via a local script. It’s been acknowledged by a developer relations member but since January 2021 there has been no updates or anything about it.

Edit: To clarify, I’m talking about how you cannot change the ClickDetector.CursorIcon value when using a custom Mouse.Icon.
