Change cursor to [] block

[ashtyboi]

This block would be useful to tell people something is clickable. It should look like this:

[scratchblocks]
change cursor to [ v] :: looks
[/scratchblocks]

Here is the list of cursors:

Here is an example use:

[scratchblocks]
when I am [mouse-entered v] :: control hat
change cursor to [pointer v] :: looks
play sound [Pop v]
wait until <not <touching [mouse-pointer v]>>
change cursor to [auto v] :: looks
[/scratchblocks]

And here is how it should be coded:

[sathvikrias]

this should be in tutorials. also, please type the list of cursors in the forum so I don't have to copy it.

Welcome to the forums! (:
There's an easier way to do this that doesn't clog up the HTML memory:

[toontalk]

Right. But I had to look it up

garply - /gar'plee/ A metasyntactic variable like foo, once popular among SAIL hackers.

[helicoptur]

It's just a placeholder name

[toontalk]

Right. And when a variable has no better name using foo or garply is reasonable. But when sharing with others then a name like cursor or cursor type would make it easier for others to follow.

[helicoptur]

I remade the image with a different variable name

But I had to look it up

Oh yeah, you're from the east coast, I forgot. :~)

[programmer_user]

He's from the UK, and why would someone from the east coast need to look it up and not someone from the west coast?

[bh]

He's in the UK, but he's from the MIT AI Lab, long ago, and it's the "once popular among SAIL hackers" that I was reacting to. SAIL was the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab.

[toontalk]

@bh

SAIL was the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab

"is" not "was" - https://ai.stanford.edu/

[bh]

Yeah, they recycled the name, but it's not the wonderful DC Power Lab crowd. Dunno if they still say "garply."

I think instead of having several options on a dropdown, you could have it pick between costumes, allowing each project to have a different look.

[helicoptur]

The block in my Custom Blocks project can take a costume or url as input aswell as the built-in cursor names.

[s_prite]

Noice.

[ego-lay_atman-bay]

that's necroposting. If we want to continue the discussion, we would continue it. It's not helpful to just say "let's continue this discussion that is clearly over"

[ashtyboi]

oh, ok.
