Unity C# Script - Arrow Cursor Renderer (Introduction, How to generate a script, ArrowCursorRenderer.cs)

Introduction

Although you may wish to record the cursor movement with the Unity Recorder in the Play Mode, you may discover that the cursor movement is not recorded.

You can use the script on this webpage to show an arrow when the mouse is pressed. The arrow can be recorded with the Unity Recorder.

Put an arrow image (.png), with a transparent background, of your choice into the Unity Assets folder in order to use the script.

Copy and paste this script to Microsoft Copilot ( https://copilot.microsoft.com ) to get the detailed instructions.
