How do I position sprite on mouse

i want to make my crosshair position on my mouse, so i make the code

Every tick >> crosshair set position to mouse. AbsoluteX, mouse.AbsoluteY

but it ended up like this

the red circle is my mouse position and the crosshair a way off from it.

how to solve this ?

There are two ways of doing this.

1. On start of layout -> Mouse|Set cursor from sprite (in this case, make sure the crosshair sprite is not larger than 64x64).

2. Every tick -> crosshair set position to X: Mouse.X, Y: Mouse.Y (make sure you set to X and Y, not AbsoluteX and AbsoluteY)

For the first option, see here for more info: https://www.scirra.com/manual/114/mouse (under Mouse Actions).

thanks for reply <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" />

the first option is work really well.

but the second option is weird, because i am already try that before. the crosshair actually spawn under my cursor and its WAY off from the Absolute position. its weird
