How can i get my object to stand directly beneath my mouse cursor?

Question

extends KinematicBody2D
func _ready():
    set_physics_process(true)    
func _physics_process(delta):
    var x = get_viewport().get_mouse_position().x
    var y = get_viewport().get_mouse_position().y
    set_position(Vector2(x,y))

My code for the object looks like that, but instead of being beneath the cursor it stands off like this:
(already tried global mouse pos, and I don't think it has to do with the object's speed)

Comments

I'll see what I can do when I get back from work, but if you're not using Godot 2.1.x, you don't need "setphysicsprocess(true)"

Answer 1

You can just use position = get_global_mouse_pos()
