How do you get an object to follow the position of the mouse in 2D?

Questions & Answers

I’m trying to get my player to follow my mouse and cant seem to get anywhere. Ive tried looking up tutorials but none of them are what I want it to do. All I want is for the player on the screen to see where the mouse is and be at that exact position. Also i’m in C#.

P.S.
I have never coded ever so if you could try to explain how this works that would be pretty neat.

hi;
this has been talked before :

https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/make-object-follow-mouse-2d-game.211186/

public class MouseMove2D : MonoBehaviour {
 
    private Vector3 mousePosition;
    public float moveSpeed = 0.1f;
 
    // Use this for initialization
    void Start () {
   
    }
   
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update () {
        if (Input.GetMouseButton(1)) {
            mousePosition = Input.mousePosition;
            mousePosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePosition);
            transform.position = Vector2.Lerp(transform.position, mousePosition, moveSpeed);
        }
 
    }
}
