As Vector2 is a type composed by two numbers which are x and y, then you should be able to get the position by asking both numbers:

 Vector2 YourVar; 
 YourVar.x; 
 YourVar.y;

So you should use something like: 

 SetPositionToMove(YourVar.x,YourVar.y); //if the functions expect x and y or:
 SetPositionToMove(Point2(YourVar.x,YourVar.y)); //if it expects a Point2 for example

Thank you but i have changed my question becouse I've learned that you can use Vector2.MoveTowards(). Now i need to know how to get the position of an object in Vector2 variable. If you know the answer can you help? –  ElPolloLoco999 Aug 20 at 15:19
    
I couldn't understand what you mean. Can you give an example code? Also i tried using a transform variable (I specified the object using it) but i don't know how to make it a vector2 variable. –  ElPolloLoco999 Aug 20 at 15:37
    
I updated the answer. If I understood it fine, what you want is to get the position (the coords) of a Vector2 variable right? –  Megasa3 Aug 20 at 15:41
    
One last question: how do i get the x and y coords of an object? –  ElPolloLoco999 Aug 20 at 15:45
