You could always use a Ray co$$anonymous$$g from the main camera, then use a RaycastHit to deter$$anonymous$$e the new position you want the object to travel to. You would attach a script like this to the object you want to move. This requires that you have some sort of terrain or other collider that you can click on for your object to travel to.

 //Example.cs
 //C-Sharp
 
 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Example : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour
 {
     Vector3 newPosition;
     Ray ray;
     RaycastHit hit;
 
     void Awake()
     {
         newPosition = transform.position;    
     }
     
     void Update()
     {
         ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
         if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit) && Input.Get$$anonymous$$ouseButtonDown (0))
         {
             newPosition = hit.point;
         }
         transform.position = Vector3.$$anonymous$$oveTowards(transform.position, newPosition, 5.0f * Time.smoothDeltaTime);
     }
 }

It worked partially. I can only click on an object I want to be able to click anywhere on the screen. Also it was not specified in the question, but the object is a prefab witch will be destroyed when it goes off the screen. Thanks.
