I move sprite around the screen by mouse using this code:

My_Sprite.set_global_position(get_viewport().get_mouse_position())

But, sprite position and mouse cursor is different (very). They becomes absolutely different while changing camera 2d zoom.

In 2.1 version i am used without any problems following code:

My_Sprite.set_global_pos(Camera.get_global_mouse_pos())

In 3.0 this code not working. Any ideas?

Thanks,

use get_global_mouse_position it will give you position in absolute coordinates that can be directly passed to sprite e.g.

 sprite.global_position = getviewport().get_mouse_global_position()

It works! Thank you!

Now viewport have not method get_mouse_global_position()

If we child Node2D class

sprite.global_position = get_global_mouse_position()

or sprite is child Node2D class

sprite.global_position = sprite.get_global_mouse_position()
