Getting mouse position in unity

Question

I\'m trying to move a object to the mouse position. But it\'s giving me large x value like 300 but at that place the pre placed object\'s x position is -4.

Answer 1

The conversion with ScreenToWorldPoint is straight-forward for 2D Vectors:

    Vector2 screenPosition = new Vector2(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y);
    Vector2 worldPosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(screenPosition);
