Set Mouse Cursor Position[C2] [SOLVED]

How would I set the position of the mouse cursor/touch position to a sprite in C2?

Found an old post by the Spriter Dev on it, but expired link.

If the two aren't separated by events, can I safely assume that mouse cursor position = touch position by default?

What do you mean by setting the position of the cursor or a touch position? There isn't a feature to move the mouse cursor, and I don't think there's an API to force the user's finger to move But it sounds like you might be after the CanvasToLayerX/Y system expressions.

I mean this.

Lucid seems to have done it. I just need the capx.

Basically I need to position the mouse/touch cursor once on key press at specific coordinates in game, say sprite.x, sprite.y.

After that, business as usual, player input controls the mouse cursor.

I need this because I have an ugly jump when switching between control systems, from keyboard/touch to XPAD.

Because in XPAD 360 Controller mode (as opposed to keyboard/touch modes, which are mouse based), the analog stick steers the cursor, so when player switches the control modes, cursor position is different and I need the mouse cursor to jump to that position.

Lucid did it in Construct Classic. You can't do it in C2 because web browsers don't let you move the mouse cursor around.

Doh! Ugly jump it is then.

I suppose I could do exclusive control systems at start, but that takes all the fun out of it (can't switch to keyboard in middle of game if you want to).

Thanks.

This turned out not to be necessary.

I found a workaround.

Actually made for more dynamic game play.
