How to make a game object clickable? (SOLVED)

And most of the popular camera extensions like RenderCam or Orthographic have helper functions to translate camera position to world position of your mouse position.

Here is a simple rectangle collision check for seeing if a point is withina rectangle that assumes the center of the rectangle object is at its 0,0 point and expands outward evenly.

local function point_within_rectangle_centroid(point_x, point_y, rectangle_x, rectangle_y, rectangle_width, rectangle_height)
	local width_half = rectangle_width / 2
	local height_half = rectangle_height / 2
	if point_x >= (rectangle_x - width_half) and point_x <= (rectangle_x + width_half) then
		if point_y >= (rectangle_y - height_half) and point_y <= (rectangle_y + height_half) then
			return true
		end
	end
	return false
end
