SOLVED cursor_sprite not working for me anymore

[flyinian]

I'm currently using cursor_sprite in the step event of a persistent object and nothing is drawing. cursor_sprite has a sprite assigned to it.

This was working fine for the longest time and now all of a sudden, it stopped working.

Any ideas on why this is?


Edit:

For debugging, I added this below. The line with the set coordinates shows while the line w. the mouse coordinates don't show.

draw_sprite(Spr_Cross,0,50,50);
draw_sprite(Spr_Cross,0,mouse_x,mouse_y);

Thanks.

the cursor_sprite functions needs only to be set once? why do you want to set the sprite every frame, it only needs to be set once no?
IF you want the object to be the sprite, you dont use cursor_sprite but use the draw GUI end event and set the depth of the object as negative as possible

Thanks for the reply.

I've decided to got with:

window_set_cursor(cr_cross);

I've decided to go this route:

.

But, The cursor won't draw above the player's gui elements.

I've set the depth of the cursor to -16000 in the gui end event and also tried the layer_depth but, it still draws below the player's gui elements.

The cursor has its own layer and its the negative most layer.

edit: I checked the depths of the player's gui elements and the cursor. The cursor is at a more negative value than the player's gui elements.
