Error while trying to hide the cursor in Unity-CodePudding

So, I tried to hide the cursor in Unity using C# script. However, it returned this error message:

CS0117: 'Cursor' does not contain a definition for 'visible'

Here is the full code for reference

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Cursor : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Vector3 worldPosition;
    public GameObject cursorobj;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        Cursor.visible = false;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        Vector3 mousePos = Input.mousePosition;
        mousePos.z = Camera.main.nearClipPlane;
        worldPosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePos);
        cursorobj.transform.position = worldPosition;
    }
}

note: there was no error except for the line 12

I copied the exact code from the tutorial website, and also searched Google for similar situations. I couldn't find anything.

CodePudding user response：

The problem in your code is that you are defining a class with the name "Cursor" which is shadowing the Cursor on namespace UnityEngine

So your public class Cursor is missing a 'property' for the visibility, then the compiler cant find that and that is the reason of the error

public static bool visible;

but you mean for sure the Cursor on the UnityEngine namespace then you can specifically refer to it as

 UnityEngine.Cursor.visible = true;

in that case the compiler will not complain trying to tell you that your own "Cursor" has no static property for visibility

CodePudding user response：

Rename your class and the .cs file accordingly. I assume it's conflicting with Unitys "Cursor" class.

As an alternative, you could use an explicit call:

UnityEngine.Cursor.visible = false;

The Using UnityEngine; doesn't solve your problem as long as your class is called Cursor but the explicit call can solve this ambiguity.
