CursorPath

Specify the partial game content path to the hardware cursor.

Windows

MacOS

Linux

Syntax

FName CursorPath

Remarks

Specify the partial game content path to the hardware cursor. For example, DO: Slate/DefaultPointer DONT: Slate/DefaultPointer.cur

NOTE: Having a 'Slate' directory in your game content folder will always be cooked, if you're trying to decide where to locate these cursor files.

The hardware cursor system will search for platform specific formats first if you want to take advantage of those capabilities.

Windows: .ani -> .cur -> .png

Mac: .tiff -> .png

Linux: .png

Multi-Resolution Png Fallback Because there's not a universal multi-resolution format for cursors there's a pattern we look for on all platforms where pngs are all that is found instead of cur/ani/tiff.

Pointer.png Pointer@1.25x.png Pointer@1.5x.png Pointer@1.75x.png Pointer@2x.png ...etc
