Hello!

I am making a 2D game. How can I make the box to follow the cursor? so when I move the cursor to a direction, the box will stay under the cursor.

Thanks!

You can get the mouse coorindates from Input.mousePosition. Just use the x/y components to set the position of your box.

You can create a ray from the mouse to your 2d/3d world. Then make the cube's position at the intersection point. Here is a script for that:

var yourCube : Transform;
//This can be the Layer, but it depends on how your game is made.
var height = 0;

function Update () {
    //The ray from the camera
    var ray =Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
    //The intersection
    var hit : RaycastHit;

    if(Physics.Raycast(ray,hit)){
        //You may need to use Vector2, but I am unfamilar with the method.
        yourCube.position = Vector3(hit.point.x,height,hit.point.z);
    }
}

Depending on whether your game is completely 2D or just the gameplay is 2D, you may need to change the script. I have already tested it in 3D. Put this script on a World Master game object.
