I think it’s impossible control cursor, because it’s the mouse that do this ! Imagine you lost control of cursor in your game, you can not close the game… you lost control of cursor for all your computer too because it’s your game that control it ! I think, you must scroll one object on the cursor, and move this object where you want using events! you can hide the cursor too !

It is not possible with GDevelop. Systems do have APIs for moving the cursor but JavaScript engines don’t implement this API in js. Imagine if someone could just send you a website link, you open it and Bam it has controll of your cursor and installs viruses on your computer and sends to your contacts the link to the website. It would be a major security issue.

-Create an object, and do in events set Always, “object” position to cursor.X(), cursor.Y() !

-Set small size to this object ! 8/8 pixels , and do origin point to center ( 4/4 pixels) !!

  • when you want put your cursor somewhere, put this object at the place, replace all cursor conditions by collisions with this object !

  • ( i am not so experienced, but sometimes, i think you must do other Technic ! or with size scale of different layers, or playing with " center camera and set position to object ) !!! Can you explain me why you want specially move the cursor? that seem very complicated for me…
