ShowCursor

This function is used to show or hide a player's cursor.

Note that, regardless of the cursor state you set using this function, the cursor will always be visible while the menu or chatbox are open.

Syntax

bool showCursor ( player thePlayer, bool show )

Required Arguments

• thePlayer: The player you want to show or hide the cursor of.
• show: A boolean value determining whether to show (true) or hide (false) the cursor.

local thePlayer = getPlayerFromNick ( "Dave" ) -- get the player named Dave
if thePlayer then -- if we got him
  showCursor ( thePlayer, true ) -- make his cursor show
  if isCursorShowing ( thePlayer ) then -- did it show?
