HELP Cursor jumps on showCursor

[Hiding]

Hi,

When I use showCursor(true) to open a panel, the cursor appears in the center of the screen for a short moment, then instantly jumps to where it was before I closed the panel.

I tried saving the last position using getCursorPosition() and restoring it with setCursorPosition(), but it doesn't help.

Any idea how to prevent the cursor jumping from the center?

cursorX, cursorY = getCursorPosition()
-- showCursor(false) <-- Use Before Then

 ...

-- showCursor(true) <-- Use After Then
screenX, screenY = guiGetScreenSize()
setCursorPosition(cursorX*screenX, cursorY*screenY)

setCursorPosition(cursorX*screenX, cursorY*screenY)

 

As I mentioned, I already tried getCursorPosition and setCursorPosition, but it doesn't work — the cursor still starts from the center of the screen..
 

local function togglePanel()
	toggle = not toggle
   
	if toggle then 		
		if savedCursorX and savedCursorY then
			local screenX, screenY = guiGetScreenSize()
			setCursorPosition(savedCursorX * screenX, savedCursorY * screenY)
		end
		
		showCursor(true)
	else 
		savedCursorX, savedCursorY = getCursorPosition()
		showCursor(false)
	end
end
bindKey("k", "down", togglePanel)

Doesnt work this way

[efex]

local toggle = false
local savedCursorX, savedCursorY

local function restoreCursorPos()
	if savedCursorX and savedCursorY then
		local screenX, screenY = guiGetScreenSize()
		setCursorPosition(savedCursorX * screenX, savedCursorY * screenY)
	end
end

local function togglePanel()
	toggle = not toggle

	if toggle then
		showCursor(true)

		for i = 1, 5 do
			setTimer(restoreCursorPos, i * 50, 1)
		end
	else
		savedCursorX, savedCursorY = getCursorPosition()
		showCursor(false)
	end
end

bindKey("k", "down", togglePanel)

Can you just try this? ı added a timer for it.

There are two kinds of methods, one with setTimer and the other with the alternative onClientRender


setTimer :

The cursor always appears in the center for one frame after showCursor(true).

function openPanel()
    showCursor(true)
    -- Save the last cursor position (values between 0 and 1)
    local x, y = getCursorPosition()
    -- Get the screen resolution
    local sx, sy = guiGetScreenSize()
    -- After 50ms, set the cursor back to its previous position
    setTimer(function()
        setCursorPosition(x * sx, y * sy)
    end, 50, 1)
end 

onClientRender:

Use a timer or onClientRender to set the position after showing the cursor.

function panelAc()
    showCursor(true)
    local x, y = getCursorPosition()
    local sx, sy = guiGetScreenSize()
    local function imlecDuzelt()
        setCursorPosition(x * sx, y * sy)
        removeEventHandler("onClientRender", root, imlecDuzelt)
    end
    addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, imlecDuzelt)
end

 

your fixed code :

 

local toggle = false
local savedCursorX, savedCursorY

local function togglePanel()
    toggle = not toggle

    if toggle then
        showCursor(true)
        if savedCursorX and savedCursorY then
            local screenX, screenY = guiGetScreenSize()
            -- Wait one frame before setting the cursor position
            setTimer(function()
                setCursorPosition(savedCursorX * screenX, savedCursorY * screenY)
            end, 50, 1)
        end
    else
        savedCursorX, savedCursorY = getCursorPosition()
        showCursor(false)
    end
end
bindKey("k", "down", togglePanel)

Needed an extra showCursore(false) before the timer
 

showCursor(true)
		
if savedCursorX and savedCursorY then
	showCursor(false) -- here

	local screenX, screenY = guiGetScreenSize()
	setTimer(function()
		setCursorPosition(savedCursorX * screenX, savedCursorY * screenY)
		showCursor(true)
	end, 50, 1)
end

So now it looks good  thank you guys
