How can I change the mouse property on certain events?
I know you can change the player's mouse with this:
game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().Icon = "rbxassetid://123456" --etc.
but if there is an occasion such as when hovering over a ClickDetector or a TextButton, I want to change it to go with a new enabled mouse cursor. How would I be able to do that?
I don't even need a script, if you could just point me to some resources, that'd be great!

You could have a LocalScript that detects when the ClickDetector's MouseHoverEnter and MouseHoverLeave events trigger, and change the player's mouse through that.
As an example (untested):
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse() --get the player's mouse
local defaultIcon = mouse.Icon --store the default icon into a variable
workspace.YourClickDetector.MouseHoverEnter:connect(function()
mouse.Icon = "hover icon" --when YourClickDetector in workspace is entered, set the cursor to "hover icon"
end)
workspace.YourClickDetector.MouseHoverLeave:connect(function()
mouse.Icon = defaultIcon --when YourClickDetector in workspace is left, set the cursor back to the default
end)

Is there a way for this if I have multiple ClickDetectors? itsJooJoo 195 — 8y

Yes, you can just connect all of them to the function to change icons, though you should have one function instead of the inline functions I provided in that scenario. Kampfkarren 215 — 8y
