Mouse.Icon doesn't change

Hello fellow Roblox devs,
I recently ran into a problem with the mouse.Icon. I want to archive a custom mouse, but I don’t seem to be able to get it… I first used the exact script from the DevHub , and everything worked fine, but when I modified it to show my custom cursor (which I uploaded about half an hour ago), this error popped up:

Here is the code I used for this, which can be found in the DevHub too:

local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
mouse.Icon = "http://www.roblox.com/asset?id=5412918193"

Am I doing anything wrong?

Oh, and by the way, when I used the script without any modifications, the cursor would change to normal when going over a UI element. Any fixes to this?

mouse.Target.Icon = “http://www.roblox.com/asset?id=5412918193”

Also needs to be in a local script since you cant get mouse in a normal script

Use Mouse.Icon but rbxassetid:// format in link.

local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
mouse.Icon = "rbxassetid://5412918193"

Still, the first error appeared…

#8

Didn’t have any errors, but the mouse icon didn’t show…

#9

do it without texture

local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
rbxasset://what icon

#10

This is what @Fel1x_FX suggested. The mouse didn’t show up but there was no error.

#11

is the icon a decal since thats what the id needs to be

#12

Obviously. (30 characters … .) What do you recommend doing?

#13

Probably something with the roblox or your picture. I tried my image and it worked fine.
Try reuploading your picture and try again.

same (30 character limit)…

#15

Didn’t work… The same error occurred. What if you upload the image for me and then send me the ID? Would this be against the ToU?

#17

Worked for me using the image ID instead.

local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
mouse.Icon = "rbxassetid://5413529056"

This WORKED! Yay, thanks @jaydensar

Oh, and how would I make it smaller?

I guess jaydensar beat me to the solution, haha. I was typing mine up.

I still don’t get why image ID’s and decal ID’s are different, it confuses many people.
