Astra Cat's Simple Cursor Script

[astracat111]

Hello again, 

I really like Mouse System Ex, and even though it uses a faster method than this one, I needed something much simpler in where I could also access some global variables pertaining to the mouse in a simple fashion. So here's the script. Make sure to put it after the script that creates your HUD graphics if you're creating a HUD, as your cursor will show you behind it rather than in front in that case.

Features: 

- Custom mouse cursor in pictures folder is required, default name is "cursor". I think you can use either PNG or bitmap graphics.

- Simple custom globals that are updated constantly for access in your rpg maker mv scripts.

Download (Updated 1 15 2016 - works fine with all scenes now)

Make sure it's called AS_SimpleMouseScript.js in your plugins folder.

Use:

Here are the globals you get: 

MouseX - cursor Y

MouseY - cursor X

MouseXGrid - cursor X in tiles

MouseYGrid - cursor Y in tiles

MouseXo - cursor origin X

MouseYo - cursor origin Y

MouseCustomCursorVisible - toggles visibility, has to be a string like 'true' or 'false', not true or false.

In any event you can create a script command and place this: 

MouseCustomCursorVisible = 'false';  

And it will toggle the visibility, in this case turning it off. Make sure to put the 'quotation marks in there' as it's a string.

Use it all you'd like, change it, modify it, make it better, or sell it and make a million dollars, I don't care. ; p

EDIT: Just fixed the problem by throwing a timer in there and doing it as Scene_Base instead of Scene_Map. Here's the new script. It should work on battles now just fine:

I know this thread is kind of old, but I guess this is the best place to find help.
Can I store the variables of this plugin somehow in normal MV variables?
I want to save MouseX and MouseY into my pleb variables called Mouse X and Mouse Y so I can use them in events.
