On the top level I have a Node2d where I want to capture the mouse position on a click event. However, something is messed up and I have no clue what. The following GDScript is attached to the node.
extends Node2D
func _unhandled_input(event):
if event is InputEventMouseButton:
print(event.position)
# (514, 309)
print(event.global_position)
# (514, 309)
print(get_global_mouse_position())
# (1, 4.5)
If I click close to the center (0, 0) I get for event.position and event.global_position
coordinates which are totally off. However, get_global_mouse_position() works fine.
All properties for the node are on default. What could cause such behaviour?
Keep in mind get_global_mouse_position() is not in screen space, it is relative to the canvas your node is in. i.e if you have a zoomed/displaced camera it will acount for that.
On the other hand I think event.position and event.global_position are not using the same coordinate space, but I don’t have Godot around to test this.

@Zylann Thanks for commenting! The “problem” was indeed a camera node.
