Cursor Component

Overview

UMIPCursorComponent changes the hardware cursor by gameplay tag or name. The tag's last child is used as the cursor name (e.g. Tag_Cursor_Default → "Default", Tag_Cursor_RepairOne → "RepairOne"); the engine looks for a matching image under Content/Slate (e.g. Default.png, RepairOne.png). It also subscribes to cursor hit target (e.g. for top-down) via OnCursorHitTarget.

Key traits:

  • Attachment: PlayerController (client).
  • Static API: ChangeCursor(WorldContextObject, InCursorTag) (empty tag = "Default"), ChangeCursorWithName(WorldContextObject, InCursorName).
  • Implementation: Uses UWidgetBlueprintLibrary::SetHardwareCursor with the resolved name.

UMIPCursorComponent

  • Base: UMIPClientPlayerControllerComponent.
  • Flow: ClientBeginPlay_Implementation, EndPlay; binds to cursor hit target delegate; OnCursorHitTarget(InCursorHitInfo) for custom behavior (e.g. outline, targeting).

Integration

  • UMIPItemSelectionComponent uses ChangeCursorWithName with disabled cursor during selection and default when stopped.
  • UMIPTopDownPlayerControllerComponent / cursor hit: outline and ability targeting use the same hit info.
