[RESOLVED] How to change the ClickDetector cursor globally

[Maxime_360 (Matheo)]

Hello, I had changed the base cursor successfully via this local script:

local m = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
m.Icon = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=6872579222"

But since then, when I hover my cursor over a click detector, the cursor does not change.
I found this script to change the cursors except that it changes the cursor of a single click detector that I mention in the script beforehand:

local mouseIcon = "rbxassetid://6872579222" --mouse icon
local clickIcon = "rbxassetid://10392882845" --click detector icon

local clickDetector = workspace.PartClicDetector.ClickDetector --click detector reference

local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

mouse.Icon = mouseIcon

clickDetector.MouseHoverEnter:Connect(function()
mouse.Icon = clickIcon
end)

clickDetector.MouseHoverLeave:Connect(function()
mouse.Icon = mouseIcon
end)

So, how to change this line so that it changes the cursor for all clickdetectors? :

local clickDetector = workspace.PartCliclDetector.ClickDetector

Why not just add that to all the click detectors and be done with it. You could aim all that at a StingValue and load that from every script. Other than that do a search via folder or tag and update them one at a time, or make a module. I like the one you have now.

A

Create a Script and put it inside ServerScriptService
(Note that this may not be the best way)
ServerScriptService

for _,i in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do -- Gets Every single Item in the workspace

if i:IsA("ClickDetector") then -- Checks if the item is a ClickDetector
i.MouseHoverEnter:Connect(function(p)
p:GetMouse().Icon = clickIcon
end)

i.MouseHoverLeave:Connect(function(p)
p:GetMouse().Icon = mouseIcon
end)
end

end

B

Create a RemoteEvent or RemoteFunction to Apply the Mouse Icon

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.MouseEvent

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, mouseIcon, Image)
mouseIcon = Image
end)

LocalScript:

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.MouseEvent

clickDetector.MouseHoverEnter:Connect(function()
Event:FireServer(mouse.Icon, Your Image)
end)

clickDetector.MouseHoverLeave:Connect(function()
Event:FireServer(mouse.Icon, Your Image)
end)

C

Put a LocalScript inside StarterCharacterScripts
(Similar to A)

for i,v in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
	if v:IsA("ClickDetector") then
		print(i, v)
		v.MouseHoverEnter:Connect(function(p)
			print("yemen") -- yeah man, its there
		end)
		
		v.MouseHoverLeave:Connect(function(p)
			print("oman") -- Oh man, its gone
		end)
	end
end

i might just be lost but isnt there like a property inside of a click detector labeled “CursorIcon” where u can just change it there?

[2112Jay]

Yes, but only one for what it is now. This is what he us updating.

[DasKairo (Cairo)]

Huh, in that case just do this:

for _,i in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
   if i:IsA("ClickDetector") then
     i.CursorIcon = "Your Image"
   end

end

thank you very much! solution C is the best, solution A doesn’t work
