Transparent area changing cursor

[Aeezakmi]

Soo as the title says, I need help making a transparent field on the screen, which changes the mouse cursor on hover. I'm new to RenPy and this is a real headbanger for me

I managed to find this on the internet:

Code: Select all

init 1 python:
    def change_cursor(type="default"):
        persistent.mouse = type
        if type == "default":
            setattr(config, "mouse", None)
        elif type == "1":
            setattr(config, "mouse", {"default": [("images/1.png", 31, 28)]})
        elif type == "2":
            setattr(config, "mouse", {"default": [("images/2.png", 0, 0)]})
           
    if not hasattr(persistent, "mouse"):
        change_cursor()
    else:
        change_cursor(persistent.mouse)
   
# The game starts here.
label start:
    $ change_cursor()
    "Normal Cursor"
   
    $ change_cursor("1")
    "Cursor 1"
   
    $ change_cursor("2")
    "Cursor 2"
   
    return

and then tried to "tweak" it for my purpose:

Code: Select all

screen testing():
    
    imagemap:
            ground "border_female"
       
            hotspot (0, 0, 247, 270) hovered Function(change_cursor,"1")
    
   

init 1 python:
        def change_cursor(type="default"):
            persistent.mouse = type
            if type == "default":
                setattr(config, "mouse", None)
            elif type == "1":
                 setattr(config, "mouse", {"default": [("magnifier_cursor.png", 0, 0)]})
           
        if not hasattr(persistent, "mouse"):
            change_cursor()
        else:
            change_cursor(persistent.mouse)        

I'm just trying to test it with random image, before imagemap, tried making it with button or imagebutton still didn't work..
Can you guys help me out :/ ?
Thanks in advance !

What about using a mousearea ?

Do you need to change cursor only when mouse is above certain area? How about using mouse property of a button then?

How does that work : ? Can't seem to understand from the documentation.
