How can you make the mouse follow the player?

+1 vote

Hello, I am trying to make it so that the mouse is always on the player characters position with the command

Input.WarpMousePosition(this.Position) within the _Process method of the player's script.

it is then released on the press of a key.

This works except when using the 2D camera node which causes the mouse to be offset based on where the player is and the size of the screen.

I fixed this issue when making an object follow my mouse by using the GetGlobalMousePosition(); however, I can't find a global option for WarpMousePosition. Is there one? Or another way to accomplish what I'm looking for?

How's your code set up? Is this camera a child of player or a node independent of the player?

The code is

if (Input.IsActionPressed("rangedwish"))
rangedwish();

else
Input.WarpMousePosition(this.Position)

void ranged_wish()
{
Input.SetMouseMode(Input.MouseMode.Visible);
fieldOfWish.GlobalPosition = GetGlobalMousePosition();
fieldOfWish.Scale = (new Vector2(0.1f, 0.1f));
}

The camera node is independent of the player and child to the main scene.
