First of all, thank you very much for the replies. The approach to a solution I used is something in the lines of samim's, my question was whether PIXI had a built-in function like stage.getMousePosition() in order to simplify my code (I would only have to add one line of new code to my "on mouse hold" position catching logic). I've done my research though and found out there isn't. Again, thank you very much.
