Position Sprite Under Mouse Pointer When Map Is Larger Than Screen

Phaser 3
1

Hello! So I have a bit of a weird situation. I would like to position a sprite under the mouse cursor but the map is bigger than the canvas size. Ergo when I check game.input.mousePointer.x it says 500 when relative to the map it is 15047.
How can I position the sprite under the mouse pointer?
P.S. I am new to Phaser so sorry if this is a stupid question.

I don’t think I understand your question :slight_smile:

sprite.x = game.input.mousePointer.x; 
sprite.y = game.input.mousePointer.y;

The x and y properties of a Pointer store its position on the screen. You need worldX and worldY.
