func _process(_delta):

var mousetile = GameManager.tilemap.world_to_map(get_global_mouse_position())
var localPosition = GameManager.tilemap.map_to_world(mousetile)
var worldPosition = GameManager.tilemap.to_global(localPosition)

global_position = worldPosition

that is what i have at the moment, i am very new to scripting so i would appreciate any advice.

I also keep getting the ‘Nonexistent function ‘world_to_map’ in base ‘Tilemap’’ error. thank you

In godot 4:

  • TileMap’s world_to_map() is now local_to_map().
  • TileMap’s map_to_world() is now map_to_local().

Give those a try and see how you get on. These docs may also help:
