Increasing Sensitivity With Dragging Sprite

Unity Engine

I am trying to drag a rigibody only the X axis. The code I have works fine! but I have found that the dragging does not have as swift as I like it.

I am wondering how it is possible to increase the sensitivity with the dragging of the sprite so that it responds faster to the drag and seems more ‘snappy’.

Here’ the code I am using right now to get the drag working on the X axis.

// Update is called once per frame
    void Update () {

             if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
             {
                 if(gameObject.GetComponent<Player>().startShooting == false){
                     gameObject.GetComponent<Player>().startShooting = true;
                     objManager.gm.startGame();
                     mainMenu.removeMenu();
                     gameScene.SetActive(true);
                }
                     dragging = true;
                     mouseStartPos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, -3, 0));
                     playerStartPos = gameObject.transform.position;
             }
             else if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
             {
                     dragging = false;
             }

             if (dragging)
             {

                     Vector3 mousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, -3, 0));

                   
                          mousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x*Time.deltaTime, -3, 0));
                   
                         Vector3 move = mousePos - mouseStartPos;

                    // gameObject.transform.position = playerStartPos + move;
                     GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().MovePosition(playerStartPos + move);
                     
             }
         }
     }

By the way, the drag of the sprite happens no matter where you drag the screen. So you don’t have to actually to touch the sprite to drag it.

Have you tried switching to FixedUpdate for your move calls?
