Website may be up and down over next few months. I'm currently doing a complete overhaul of everything. Going back to simple individual .htm pages, new overall site theme, sanitizing and cleaning up html of all pages and blog posts, attempting to implement a new tooling and publishing system etc etc.

There are some instances when you may need to lock the mouse cursor to the screen. For example rotating the camera where you would press down on the right mouse button then drag the mouse to rotate the camera. If you wish to hide the mouse cursor and lock it to the screen while dragging you can use Screen.lockCursor.

using UnityEngine;

public class lockCursorExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    void DidLockCursor()
    {
        Debug.Log("Locking cursor");
    }

    void DidUnlockCursor()
    {
        Debug.Log("Unlocking cursor");
    }

    private bool wasLocked;

    void Update()
    {
        if (!Screen.lockCursor && this.wasLocked)
        {
            this.wasLocked = false;
            this.DidUnlockCursor();
        }
        else if (Screen.lockCursor && !this.wasLocked)
        {
            this.wasLocked = true;
            this.DidLockCursor();
        }

        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(1))
        {
            Screen.lockCursor = true;
        }

        if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(1))
        {
            Screen.lockCursor = false;
        }
    }
}

Ever wish you could have a tool tip appear when hovering your mouse over a control in the inspector? Well look no further then Unity’s ToolTip attribute that you can apply to your MonoBehaviour’s fields!

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    [Tooltip("Health value between 0 and 100.")]
    public int health = 0;
}
