This channel is so underrated. This is easily the best Unity tutorial channel for beginners on YouTube.

[HappyDinosaur]

I love how she moves the mouse around the thing while explaining it. It shows a lot of enthusiasm about the topic.

[MasonWolf]

Thanks! I have watched so many different videos and none of them worked, but this video was straight to the point.

[CrunchyClub]

If you get a "Can't add script error" it's because line 5 of the code after "public class" needs to be the same name as whatever the script is. This is my second day of unity and I renamed the script after I made it so the names didn't match. Awesome video, thanks for NOT including 10 minutes of fluffy BS.

[moandtell]

Thank you so much for this video! I've learned so much in just the first half alone! This is my first step to building a game, and it feels really good to see something actually working when I press play!

[anaribeiro]

This is the best tutorials I have seen for UNITY. Well done! And thank you so much for this great content.

[uhhhhh]

If you get an error message like me that says "`Cursor' does not contain a definition for `SetCursor'" its because you named your script "Cursor". Was banging my head against the wall trying to figure it out. Dont be like me, name your script appropriately lmao

When writing script, for start function, 7:47, controls.Mouse.Click.started, my script has error: “CursorControl does not contain a definition for “Mouse” . There was an option for MouseActionMap, are they the same ? How to fix this error?

[alphaanar]

YAY! new video that explains stuff which l have no idea what is this :D

[angiemon]

How do I make the cursor scale correctly with different resolutions? :(

[georgigeorgiev]

Thank you so much I needed this type of tutorial =D

[mantavisions]

THANK YOU! this saved me, i was struggling! haha

[starwarsfan]

Thank u so much for this video!!! It helps soooo much! You're really a good teacher!!!

[klauses]

i have been informed by unity that "'Texture2D' does not contain a definition for 'SetCursor' and no accessible extension method 'SetCursor' accepting a first argument of type 'Texture2D' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"
can you provide assistance? would be appreciated

[HdmiFly]

My imported cursor only appears once I hit escape. Any ideas?

[chloefinlay]

This is such a great and clear tutorial! I'm just wondering (as I am new to unity) if there's a way I can use this method to click my objects but also use the mouse to look around the environment also? Thank you for any help you can give :)

[ofcmusy]

I get this error code when I try this "Assets\Pixel Cursors\CursorController.cs(24, 6): error CS1513: } expected"

[jianingzhuang]

Nice video! May I ask if we can resize the cursor using script? Thanks.

[functionSam]

For using a mouse cursor in a menu system, would "release only" be suitable? I'm trying to create a mouse interaction that feels "natural" (at least in a menu to start)

[fernandomilans]

hi, i was thinking of changing my project's implementation of inputs to 'input system', but is it worth it?
I say, 'input system' is in version 1.0, so I imagine there will be annoying bugs, I saw the documentation but I do not realize the great advantages over doing it the 'traditional' way.
What is your opinion at the time of practice, what 'great advantages' you see in 'input system'.

Thanks, and very good videos, greetings!
