Difference between cursor position and TextureRect position

Hi,

I have written this code:

func _input(event)
if InputEventScreenDrag:
item = event.position
$“Bucket1”.rect_position = item

Here ‘Bucket1’ is a TextureRect and is a child of a Node2D.

When I run the project, I find that there is constant spatial difference between the cursor and ‘Bucket1’.
The difference is about Vector2(550,350)

Why is it so? I have assigned ‘Bucket1’ to ‘item’, which is at the event position.

What am I doing wrong? Do we need to do some transform in code?

Also, I have a TouchScreen Button which is a Child of a Sprite. The Sprite is a child of a Node2D. How do I find the position of the TouchScreen Button?

Thanks in advance

The cursor position is relative to the top left of the screen so you’ll need to take away the Node2D position from the cursor position.

item = event.position - get_parent().position

Doesn’t work. Throws error.
Thanks anyway.
