Mouse objects have an Icon property which is the URL to use for the image of the mouse's cursor.
You can set this for Mouse objects made from Tools or HopperBins. (From their respective Equipped and Selected events)
It is currently unsettable on PlayerMouse objects (those gotten from the GetMouse method on players) though this will probably eventually change.
Remember:
The icon is an asset URL, which will look like "rbxassetid://000000" or "http://www.roblox.com/?assetid=00000". The mouse object has to be gotten from an Equipped or Selected event from a Tool or HopperBin respectively. Since Icon is a property, also remember that it must be capitalized, .Icon NOT .icon
If you had a Tool that you wanted to have a different icon, it could look something like this:
(This assumes the script is parented directly inside the Tool object)
function Equipped(mouse)
mouse.Icon = "rbxassetid://12699761";
end
script.Parent.Equipped:connect(Equipped)
Note that id 12699761 refers to the image corresponding to the decal 12699762. The image is usually the ID of the decal minus one or two. If you don't want to figure that out, you can just insert the decal from the toolbox and take the Texture property of it from the Properties box.

wait, so whats the script? mouse.icon = "decal name" ???
can u post what the script 'should' look like on another answer? so i can get a good perspective.
no no no. that script is of course helpful, keep that. but i just want to make it where, when you join the server, the icon changed. by icon i mean mouse.but please. dont delete that first script. its helpful
The PlayerMouse's icon still isn't editable, so that isn't possible. You can force a user to equip a tool and hide the toolbox, but you currently cannot set the icon without a tool or hopperbin.
how can i do that?
