  1. on mouse click check if cursor is inside of sprite

  2. mark sprite as dragged e.g. node_responsible_for_draggin.dragged = sprite

  3. in _processmethod set sprites global position to mouse global position sprite.global_position = get_global_mouse_position())

  4. on mouse release unmarked dragged sprite

Update
to move sprite toward mouse click you can use tween and global_mouse_position()
simple script:

extends Node2D

func _input(event):
    if event is InputEventMouseButton and event.button_index == BUTTON_LEFT and event.pressed:
	    $Tween.interpolate_property($sprite, "global_position",$sprite.global_position, get_global_mouse_position(), 1,Tween.TRANS_LINEAR,Tween.EASE_IN)
	    $Tween.start()

here demo in my godot-recipes project

Oops, fear that I’ll need more study of script, my actual knowledge bein limited to the copy/paste of some lines… Any tutos that I may check, usin that mouse movement?
