Could you possibly add the ability for game creators to code it so the player's mouse cursor is locked in the center of the screen? I would like this for my fullscreen game I am making, where a player presses escaped to toggle between action mode and UI mode. In action mode the cursor is always in the center (and invisible preferably).

This could be implemented along with a similar request I made here.

Perhaps in addition to my request, there could be a sensitivity variable used to determine how much you have to move your mouse before unsnapping from said atom. 0 being no sensitivity, 101 being permanently snapped.

The only problem I can see with this is we'd need a way to make the mouse start snapped at a specific location, or to somehow set the mouse to the coords for the user so the snap is forced.

I don't even know how feasible this is since nobody replied. All I know is current mouse functions suck, and you should aim to further improve and extend them if possible.

Zagros5000	pretty sure you could just make the mouse have a blank icon then just overwrite the mouse functions-as a workaround this would be a cool feature i guess though
