[Unity 4.3] Get 2D mouse coordinates relative to the scene

Hello,

I'm new in Unity.

I would like to get the 2D mouse coordinates relative to the scene.

With this code I get the mouse coordinates relative to the camera: Input.mousePosition
The origin is in the left bottom corner.

I would like to set the potition of one sprite to the mouse coordinates :

gameObject.transform.position = Input.mousePosition;

But that doesn't work :-/.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

 

Have the same problem, Needs charecter move by mouse press tried this transform.Translate(Input.mousePosition * Time.deltaTime); didn't worked

 

Use Camera.ViewportToWorldPoint.
[Edit]
quarag is right.

 

Vector3 pz = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
pz.z = 0;
gameObject.transform.position = pz;

 

Great!

Thanks quarag

 

Thanks

 

Does anyone know what to do to make a 2d character follow the mouse without clicking anything

 

Thanks bro, helped a lot

 

Thanks a lot this worked

 

Use Vector2

 

Go to quarag's reply

 

What does 'pz.z = 0;' mean?
