Mouse Not Working When Game Is Focused – FPS Controller Template Issue

🧑‍💻 Technical Support

Hi 8thWall team and community,

I’m currently working with the FPS Controller template provided in 8thWall. Everything works fine except for mouse input. Here’s the issue:

  • When I click on the canvas and the pointer is “locked” (focus mode), the cursor disappears as expected.

  • However, mouse movement and clicks no longer work. I can’t look around or shoot as intended.

  • The keyboard input (WASD) for movement works fine.

Expected Behavior:
When clicking into the canvas, I should be able to control the camera with mouse movement and shoot with the left mouse button.

What I’ve tried:

  • Checked if pointerlock is enabled correctly.

  • Ensured event listeners are set for mousemove and mousedown.

  • No console errors are thrown during runtime.

  • Tried in Chrome and Firefox (same issue).
