When I enable my mouse cursor, click around with it for a bit and then disable it through anything other than a mouse click, the mouse X/Y axis inputs do not function for anything else until a mouse click is made. Also if I hold down a mouse button while disabling the cursor, it works as it should.
How can I remove the need to click to re-enable X/Y axis inputs after the cursor has been disabled?
The blueprint I’m using to disable/enable the mouse is below.
I’m experiencing the same problem even in Standalone mode. For example::
However, the mouse look does not work until I hit a mouse button. I ideally I shouldn’t have to do the extra mouse click to regain control of the mouse look.
to release the mouse control
bShowMouseCursor = false;
bEnableClickEvents = false;
bEnableMouseOverEvents = false;
I’ve tried adding:
FSlateApplication::Get().SetFocusToGameViewport();
Currently, i’m tracing down the states on why the mousebutton regains control in the code, but the hunt is slow. Any suggestions? I’m currently blocking out the following code area but I could be far off still :
FReply FSceneViewport::OnMouseButtonDown( const FGeometry& InGeometry, const FPointerEvent& InMouseEvent )
Well, I was able to figure out the problem and the fix for the c++ side. Basically, the problem is with which slatewidget has focus and then to refocus back onto the clientviewport.
To release the mouse and regain “Mouse Look” for C++:
//Release the mouse events and don't draw the mouse
bShowMouseCursor = false;
bEnableClickEvents = false;
bEnableMouseOverEvents = false;
// Since the viewport may not be the current focus,
// we need to re-focus whatever the current focus is,
// in order to ensure it gets a chance to reapply any custom input settings
auto CurrentFocus = FSlateApplication::Get().GetKeyboardFocusedWidget();
FSlateApplication::Get().ClearKeyboardFocus(EKeyboardFocusCause::SetDirectly);
FSlateApplication::Get().SetKeyboardFocus(CurrentFocus);
Maybe you can use this information to figure out the blueprint method equivalents. Hope it helps.
Ah alright, I’ll see if I can do anything with blueprints, if not I’ll just have to add the code in. Cheers.
I am getting an error:
" use of undefined type ‘FSlateApplication’ "
EDIT: an #include “SlateBasics.h” fixed the problem… but nevertheless this approach doesn’t work for me. Still no reanabling the mouse look.
EDIT2: Nevermind, it works now… I changed the bools after the FSlateApplication-Lines
Just saw this question while looking for the answer myself. Little late, but this is a way of how you could do it on the blueprint side:
Yep, ^ easiest way right there
Sadly this does not actually work. Still requires a click afterward.
This does not solve the problem that it requires a click after changing showMouseCursor
I’m facing the same problem, and it does not solve my problem too.
I duduned figured it out!
Hey I figured it out here-
Hey I figured it out here -
None of these suggestions worked for me, but I found a way.
I noticed the Set Input Mode Target input didn’t have “Target: Self” like nodes usually do, but instead just “Target”, so I chucked a self ref on it and the problem was gone!, remove the self and it returns.

Ignore the “In Widget to Focus” input, that isn’t required, but I passed it through anyway. why not? 
I didn’t have any issues going back to game only input mode. but here’s the bit that does that from the widget graph.
Good news =)
This Problem re-appears in 4.11
Did you ever figure this out?
EDIT:
Oh hmm nvm you need to call SetInputModeGameOnly on the player controller.
This did solve my problem.
