Mathf.Clamp Not working properly

Question

I am developing a clone of pong game where my paddle move on X-Axis Code for it is below:

void Update () {

    Vector3 pos = transform.position;
    pos.x = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition).x;
    transform.position = new Vector3(Mathf.Clamp(pos.x,-14f,14f),-20f,0);
    transform.position = pos;

}

I think I am doing something stupid but I can't see it.

Answer 1

You are reassigning the position straight after clamping, ignoring that completely

void Update () 
{
    Vector3 pos = transform.position;
    pos.x = Mathf.Clamp(Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition).x,
                                                        -14f, 14f);
    transform.position = pos;
}

Disclaimer: I haven't used unity so this makes some assumptions about the syntax being correct already.
