Mouse Icon Hovering Under Chat

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello developers,

I’ll keep it simple. I’m trying to make a custom mouse icon, so I disabled the mouse using UIS.MouseIconEnabled = false, and I update an imagelabel’s position every frame to be at the mouse’s position. I’m doing this because I want the mouse icon to be a custom one, and the mouse always reverts to the default icon whenever it hovers over a GUI item. The problem with using an imagelabel though is that no matter how high I make the ZIndex, it’s still always behind the chat box.

Does anyone know what can be done to fix this?

Are you aware of the Icon property of the Mouse?

edit: apparently your GUI issue will still be a problem:

Note, this property is overridden when the mouse is hovering over a GuiButton .

Yes, I am aware of it. And yeah hovering is still a problem, which is why I’m looking for another solution.

I’m fairly certain there isn’t a way to do this. You should make a feature request (reference this old one, it has multiple feature requests in one post so isn’t really appropriate).

Did you try editing the DisplayOrder of the ScreenGui instead of the ZIndex of the image?

Adding onto this, I believe the display order of the chat is at 6. There was a max of 10 or something for display order, but that may have been removed since I last checked.

Regardless, @colbert2677’s solution should work.

I believe the DisplayOrder limit is indeed removed. If not, then it’s still 10 and my DisplayOrder input isn’t getting clamped like ZIndex used to do pre-limit removal.

Oh yeah, DisplayOrder is the property I’m looking for. Changing it to 8 made it hover above the chat, thanks:D
