How can I hide mouse cursor ingame?

[TradeMark]

Create your own copy of the mod, and make the cursor with full transparent color (lila or etc). Thats how i hidded it for my videos.

And here's a version that allows you to use a text action:
http://trepan.bzflag.bz/spring/gui_no_mouse.lua

Use /luaui nomouse to toggle the display state (you could also bind
it to a keyset for easier access). The default state is to have the mouse
cursor visible in this version. That makes it easier to always have the
widget enabled (so that it can receive the 'nomouse' command, but not
have the mouse hiding ability enabled).

one line of code XD

1. The second version has more than one line of code
2. Helluva lot easier to use than your trick, heh?

Yeah, i said it just because i wanted someone to make easier way :D

Well a lua widget wasn't what I was looking for BUT WHO CARES! Thanks!

[Neuralize]

Is there a lua widget that removes the mouse3 click crosshair? That is really want I need to be gone to make a decent video.

Trepans link to the second version is broked so I can't see if that works for what I need it for. Basically I just need a completely clear GUI with no healthbars, cursor or anything else that isn't the actual game.

I came across this whilst searching to see how I could hide the cursor. This only hides the cursor when the GUI is showing and I need it to hide the "Specrun" crosshair anyways....

What would be totally awesome is a widget which just auto hides everything that isn't the actual game when a certain key is pressed.

And if anybody could link me to trepans second version, that would be +10

[Master-Athmos]

Actually you don't need any Lua at all as there is a command you type in which hides the crosshair cursor on the middle mouse button. Unfortunately I don't remember it right now...

EDIT:
/cross it is...

[Jazcash]

Hmm actually, I suppose I'll have to ask Regret if he could implement an option to hide the reticle as it's all drawn within the widget itself I guess...

[Jazcash]

Hmm ok. So now I can have the cursor gone in every view apart from when Specmode is on and F5 is pressed to hide the GUI. I just have a dodgy cursor in the middle of the screen.

Imo F5 should completely get rid of everything not-part-of-the-game including the cursor.

Regret's done some tweaking to his widget but he's just managed to get rid of the green crosshair I would've thought this would have to be an engine change but I'm no coder so I guess there's still hope of a fix-widget :D

Hide without using lua or any special tricks:
Press middle mouse button to go into cross mode -> "/cross 0"

[MelTraX]

Btw, you could write a widget that temporarily overrides the widget handler Draw* methods with empty ones. That would disable everything drawn by LuaUI. Wouldn't hide the cursor or the default interface though.

Or you could press F5, wich hides everything (including Lua)
