Custom Cursor Gets Cut Off By Screen

[jayw10990 0]

So here is my dilemma, my hand cursor gets cutoff on the left hand side of the menus, i cant for the life of me figure out how to move it to the right, but not have it move to the right when in text message box's, title screens, etc.. heres an image of what im talking about. Any help would be much appreciated.

You're obviously using a custom script, and there's not much we can do without it.

Here is the script, I have been using for the hand

The x and y values used for a normal cursor assume it is the far left-upper corner of the image. Your cursor is meant to be to the left of the item, instead of on it. You have a few simple options that may let you get away with not editing a bunch of scripts.

 

1. Change the image, add blank pixels to the left side of it.

2. Change the ox and oy of the cursor sprite.

thanks for the reply foreverzero, i tried changing the x and y 0's but the cursor just didnt move at all, i did make a new image with 32 extra pixels to the left. On the menu screen next to the actors it did put it in the right place, but at the same time, on the command menu it puts the cursor to far to the right, covering up the words. Any other ideas I may try ?

Modify the values in "update_cursor_rect" of the Window_MenuStatus script. The cursor behaves differently in that Window than anywhere else.

 

 

 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 # * Cursor Rectangle Update
 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 def update_cursor_rect
   if @index < 0
  self.cursor_rect.empty
   else
  self.cursor_rect.set(0, @index * 116, self.width - 32, 96)
   end
 end

Thankyou Zero, that did work just the way I wanted, I noticed, that pretty much any window that I have a cursor selecting things, will have to have a similar "Rectangle Update" code put into it, to get everything to work the same... pain in the butt, but its worth it. Thanks again. Im sure ill be back on here needing more help soon ><
