Stores the current position (absolute) of the mouse cursor into an x,y table, which can be used in a query to check if the current position is over an object/character or a certain part of the scene etc. Note: just noticed that it is actually returning coordinates based on current scroll position, as if: scroll position is always 0,0 instead of what it should be. You can counteract this by adding cursor position + scroll position together.
Syntax:

Example:
-- let's store the current position into a variable!
local curPos = getCursorPos()
-- let's check if the stored cursor position equals another x,y value!
if curPos.x == 200 and curPos.y == 400 then
-- do some action!
else
-- do some other action!
end
