Lock Cursor and Camera.main.transform.forward are different

If you're locking the cursor, how do you show the mouse position? There's some crosshair or the like following the mouse movement?

• LockCursor will hide and lock the mouse cursor in the center of the screen.
  

• the mouse position is a 2d coordinate on the screen.
  

• Camera.main.transform.forward is just a direction in 3d space

That are 3 totally different things... i really don't get your question. Your code would maybe explain what you want to do. If you want to edit your question only include relevant parts of your code and highlight it with the "101 010" button.

What I've done is set the screen to something basic (800x600) and put a GUITexture on half of the screen. This matches up with the cursor, but when I unlock the mouse, I find that it appears above the cursor by about 50 pixels.

when you press escape, the mouse is unlocked and is shown.
