Or to put it simply, the lag can be removed by ensuring the "always - set handbag/gun to position" after the movement events take place.
Otherwise, you set the position, then move the character out the way. Lol. I've done that a couple of times by accident.
Project: Roller Coaster is on it's way!

Fox has a good idea with what he says. That way, you don't have to do a zillion events for EVERY possibility for your player character. (Events for a hamster with a purple handbag, then more for a blue handbag, then more for a green handbag..) The best thing about Fox's method is that you'd only have to test collisions on the actual player character itself and you'd save yourself a ton of work.
I suggest taking what he says a bit further too- Have the mask character have say 5 different sets of user-defined animations like Purple, Blue, Green, etc. Then you could store the value of your weapon (or handbag) globally and set the user animation you made to the corresponding weapon value.
Something like:
If WEAPON = 0 then change animation to "Blue"(character mask)
If WEAPON = 1 then change animation to "Purple"(character mask)
If WEAPON = 2 then change animation to "Green"(character mask)
You'd have to account for different states like movement and attacks, but that's the general idea at least.

How do you get the animations in sync with Fox's method?

You're going to need to develop for the PS3 if you want real-time... weapon change. Sorry.

No there is a way. Look at Schizo Bob, it has several real-time weapon changes... All at once!

You could always set the animation frame of the mask to the animation frame of the actual player. That's what I'd do.

In Bob The Schizo, Bob is an active object, and both his arms are seperate active objects with the weapon anmations.

Does Bob the Schizo have points where the arms are "off" a bit? I tried using a separate object for my weapons in Captain of the Guard, but sometimes the weapon wouldn't synch up correctly or disappear a nanosecond too early. I even had it to always set too. Weird huh?
Since then I've been making the weapon a part of the actual picture, so that those problems don't happen anymore. It would be nice to use separate weapons or body parts on occasion though.

I think I know what you mean, and the way around that is to move the arms whenever the player object is moved.
For example, in the platform engine when pressing right=Bob to move X+1, also give that X+1 event to the arms so they won't lag.
If you have an main object with a built in movement, for example bouncng ball, you can also give the same movement (and speed, direction etc) to the other object.

How do you get the animation in sync with Fox's method because you can use default platform movement
