Question by Patri0t_Gamer · Mar 28, 2016 at 12:55 AM · c#movementgame objectobject movement

How to move in game 2D game object with mouse?

Hi there, I'm new to Unity and Game Dev, so just wanted to ask the basic question on how to move the game object with mouse movement. Something like pick an object (by clicking) and move it , then place it once the mouse click is released. Found few answers with 'camera.main.worldtoscreenpoint' but didn't understand them, I'll really appreciate if some one can also explain this 'camera.main.worldtoscreenpoint'.

thanks a lot :)

bool IsPicked;

void Update(){

if(input.getmouseButtonUp(0)){

isPicked = false;

}

if(isPicked == true){

vector2 mousePos = camera.main.screentoWorldPoint(input.mousePosition);

transform.position = mousePos;

// if you want to smooth movement then lerp it

}

}

void OnMouseDown(){

isPicked = true;

}

hey thanks a lot,

with some minor changes in the code, its working. this is the final code - its for moving the object with mouse movement only (no click and drag)

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class MyMove : MonoBehaviour {

 // Use this for initialization
 void Start () {
 
 }
 
 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update () {
 
     Vector2 pos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
     transform.position = (pos);
             
 }

}
