Is there an easy way to make the mouse automatically change to the “clicking hand” when hovering a button in Godot? I haven’t gotten it to work…

If you are using different textures for hover and normal, you could check in the _process(delta) if the texture is the hover texture. It this returns true, then change the cursor, else, change to the default cursor.

To accompany fpicoral’s answer, if you do not want custom textures as the cursor there are options for that in control nodes.

For example if you are using a TextureButton go to the Inspector:

Mouse > Default Cursor Shape and select Pointing hand

This will give you that look of hovering over a link in a web page, if that’s what you’re looking for. Hope this helps :slight_smile:
