How do I get the mouse position for Input.warp_mouse and Input.parse_input_event?

[balmy talon]

How do I get the mouse position out of a control's global_position property to use in Input.warp_mouse and Input.parse_input_event?

I have tried varies things like...

• position
• global_position
• get_local_mouse_position()
• get_global_mouse_position()
• get_global_transform_with_canvas().origin

All seems to have their own problems.
I am using Godot 4.1

[quaint niche]

get_viewport().get_mouse_position()

relative to the viewport

[balmy talon]

nope that doesn't work

[quaint niche]

get_window().get_mouse_position() relative to the window

[balmy talon]

that just lerps my mouse to top left corner

ok just a sec

[quaint niche]

there's so many things tbh

[balmy talon]

nope still not it

[quaint niche]

is the origin for the control the top left of the viewport

[balmy talon]

no

I was using sprite anyways to debug it

[quaint niche]

well the origin for warp_mouse is topleft of the window, so, you need to find where the origin of the control node is relative to the active window

which it really should be top left

[balmy talon]

it basicly is

I was running the scene not the game

I can use position and then it's in the right direction but it's not scaled with the window

it's still 128x128 instead of 128x128*4

I can get it working with get_viewport().warp_mouse() but then there is no way to parse input

[balmy talon]

I still need this

this doesn't work in godot 4.0

func click()->void:
    var evt = InputEventMouseButton.new()
    evt.button_index = MOUSE_BUTTON_LEFT
    evt.position = get_viewport().get_mouse_position()
    evt.pressed = true
    Input.parse_input_event(evt)
    evt.pressed = false
    Input.parse_input_event(evt) ```

let alone trying to get the position of the node2d

the position it returns is not in the correct space
