Hello,

I am placing a rectangle always at the pointer location. Works great.  
But when I set a camera zoom, this doesn’t work, the rectangle position is not where the cursor is.  
[Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/phaser/comments/i7we86/help_camera_zoom_messes_with_pointerx_and_pointery/) someone had the same problem but got no answers.

[I have created an example at codepen.](https://codepen.io/FloPinguin/pen/ZEabmOE)  
Move your cursor and then do it again after pressing the button.  
I think there is an easy solution but I couldn’t find it…

👋

Use

```
this.rect.setPosition(pointer.worldX, pointer.worldY);
```
