How to move an object with the mouse

Unity Engine

Hi,

Could someone tell me how to make an object move by mousing over it, selecting it, and directing it where to go via mouse input? I would simply like to move a cube by using the mouse and have it constrained to move the same distance as the object’s width and length. Thanks in advance!

Look at the Procedurals example project, specifically at the lightning scene. It has an example of this exact thing.

Thanks! That answers the question! Would you happen to know how to constrain movement? For example if I only wanted to allow the player horizontal direction and constrain the movement to a short distance.
