Hello im trying to make a custom cursor for my game how should i aproach this

[yesko]

In your code, the part for checking the group is fine exept for the CollisionShape3D() at the beginning. (This should actually throw an error because CollisionShape3D does not have a constructor)
You should call is_in_group on the object that the script is on, so just if is_in_group("Enemy"): (or I suppose if self.is_in_group("Enemy"): if you prefer that way) would work.

The first step doesn’t seem to be implemented though, and you still have the _on_mouse_entered(): ... from before. Or is it just in another script and you didn’t delete that part yet? In which case I wouldn’t know why the script extends Area2D which is a 2D node that doesn’t belong in a 3D world.

i use a 2d because its part of the ui and that works on 2d.

1. DisplayServer doesn’t have the function get_mouse_cursor(). Also, as I said:

@yesko

To set the mouse cursor, you would have to use Input.set_custom_mouse_cursor.

2. Didn’t you say you wanted to check whether the mouse is over a 3D object? You can’t make that part of the UI and need to do 3D raycasts

how do i do that

[yesko]

I assume you mean [2.]?

[yesko]

For that you can use the ray-casting system in Godot: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/physics/ray-casting.html

It’s a somewhat big topic to get into and I can’t explain everything in one post (the docs do a really good job, in my opinion), but it isn’t terribly difficult once you’ve read the basics.

The tutorial I shared previously also gives a really good explanation of the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmvIkkKJVlQ
