How can i make a script that changes ClickDetector cursor icon for all ClickDetectors?

Asked by 7 years ago

I want to know how to make a script that can change ClickDetector cursor icon the way that it will be working on every ClickDetector that is located in workspace. I already tried searching and i could make it work only on one brick. (Excuse my bad english please)

local clickDetector = game.Workspace.Part.ClickDetector
local icon = "rbxassetid://878096274"
local icon2 = "rbxassetid://878076293"
clickDetector.MouseHoverEnter:connect(function(player)
    local mouse = player:GetMouse()
    mouse.Icon = icon
end)
clickDetector.MouseHoverLeave:connect(function(player)
    local mouse = player:GetMouse()
    mouse.Icon = icon2
end)

This is the script that i've been using.

Hello Alexeeii,

The function that will be shown below searches everywhere in an entity, including its children, and it's children's children, and so on, for example, workspace. I like to think of it as a "deep search".

function Search(ItemToSearch)
    for i, v in pairs(ItemToSearch:GetChildren()) do
        if v:IsA("Part") then
            v.BrickColor = "Really red"
        end
        Search(v) --This repeats the search on the children of the children so it allows one to infinitely search through children of children, and their children, and their children, and so on.
    end
end)
--This would make every part that exists somewhere inside ItemToSearch turn red.

Then you'd use the function of whatever you'd like to "deep search". For example,

Search(workspace)
--This would make all parts in the workspace red, no matter where they are in the workspace.

In your case, you'd like to do things with all ClickDetectors in the workspace. So, your code would look something like this:

local icon = "rbxassetid://878096274"
local icon2 = "rbxassetid://878076293"
function Search(ItemToSearch)
    for i, v in pairs(ItemToSearch:GetChildren()) do
        if v:IsA("ClickDetector") then
            v.MouseHoverEnter:connect(function(Player)
                local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
                Mouse.Icon = icon
            end)
            v.MouseHoverLeave:connect(function(Player)
                local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
                Mouse.Icon = icon2
            end)
        end
        Search(v) 
    end
end

Search(workspace)

Thank you, but i forgot to mention that the script is local and located in PlayerGui and the code that you wrote might not work because of that. Unity_456 47 — 7y

As long as the game is filtering disabled, the code should work. If you have filtering enabled, tell me and I can revise it to work for you. wierdgamer100 130 — 7y

The Filtering Enabled is disabled and there seems to be an error at line 17 (There is red line under " ) " ) Unity_456 47 — 7y
