Question by mdagreda · Mar 27, 2013 at 08:04 PM · screencursorhidelock

How do I create a toggle for showing cursor and then hiding cursor?

Right now I have a button that will hid the cursor just fine but in order to have it appear I have to press the escape key. Here is what I thought would work for creating a toggle.

 var toggle: boolean;
 
 
 function Start () {
 Screen.lockCursor = true;
 }
 
 function Update () {
 if(Input.GetKeyDown("`")){
     if(toggle){
         Screen.lockCursor = false;
     }
     else{
         Screen.lockCursor = true;
     }
 
 }
 
 }

What am I doing wrong here and how do I fix it?

Oh, how dumb I have been. Ok kids remember when you put a boolean in that you want to keep track of a toggle be sure you change it's value when you hit the toggle key. Here is my new code that works. I added a little extra as well.

 var toggle: boolean;
 
 
 function Start () {
 Screen.lockCursor = true;
 }
 
 function Update () {
 if(Input.GetKeyDown("`")){
     if(toggle){
         Screen.lockCursor = false;
         Screen.showCursor = true;
 
         toggle = false;
     }
     else{
         Screen.lockCursor = true;
         Screen.showCursor = false;
 
         toggle = true;
     }
 
 }
 
 }
