How can I drag a 2D object anywhere on the screen with the x axis? (touch)

Question

What I would like, is a script where you can drag pretty much everywhere on the screen (maybe except for bottom and top of the screen) and the object would move only on the X axis..

You can drag anywhere, which means you don't need to drag the object, you could drag under it if you needed.

Hello @Gooeygamer! Have you tried searching Google? There are a bunch of great answers out there :) If you don't want to bother, here's a script:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class TouchDrag : MonoBehaviour {
     public float speed = 0.1F;
 
     void Update() {
         if (Input.touchCount > 0 && Input.GetTouch(0).phase == TouchPhase.Moved) {
             Vector2 touchDeltaPosition = Input.GetTouch(0).deltaPosition;
             transform.Translate(touchDeltaPosition.x * speed * Time.deltaTime, 0, 0);
         }
     }
 }

Let me know if you don't understand a part of this script :)
