There is probably another post for this, but im too lazy too find it.

Custom cursors are in a lot of games, I have seen them used in DB too. I have been combing through the DB help, but have not found any commands that may help me.
I want something along the lines of getting a bitmap, and then a command of bitmapfollowmouse and then a hidemouse command to hide the mouse but not the bitmap, so then the bitmap acts like the mouse. I can do this in Flash ACTIONSCRIPT and JUSTbasic, but I am unsure wether this is possible in DBclassic. Help?

Easiest way I know is to do this:

Sprite 1,mousex(),mousey(),<mousepoint bitmap>
SYNC

and obviously include it into a part of your program that will continuously use to update the mouse whereabouts.

You can use the hide mouse command with it.
