Advanced Input Handling in Decentraland

For basic click/hover events, see the add-interactivity skill. This skill covers advanced input patterns.

Pointer Lock State

Detect whether the cursor is captured (first-person mode) or free:

import { engine, PointerLock } from '@dcl/sdk/ecs'

function checkPointerLock() {
  const isLocked = PointerLock.get(engine.CameraEntity).isPointerLocked

  if (isLocked) {
    // Cursor is captured — player is in first-person control
  } else {
    // Cursor is free — player can click UI elements
  }
