I had the LAG problem in my game then I was helped by the awesome people on here... (prob Circy) and then BAMB!
I used the "Mask" object thingymajingy and it works like sex now. I love it. Woot!

They way I do it in my games is not to relocate the objects to follow the leader; instead I give them relocation actions in the same event. It's important however that these actions come AFTER the main object. Example:
xinertia of MainObject > 0
--MainObject: set X position to X(MainObject) + (xinertia(MainObject)/4)
--ObjectPart1: set X position to X(MainObject)
--ObjectPart2: set X position to X(MainObject)
The following would be equivalent, but action order is irrelevant (though event order is not):
xinertia of MainObject > 0
--MainObject: set X position to X(MainObject) + (xinertia(MainObject)/4)
--ObjectPart1: set X position to X(ObjectPart1) + (xinertia(MainObject)/4)
--ObjectPart2: set X position to X(ObjectPart2) + (xinertia(MainObject)/4)
That's probably an excessive example, but how you need to do it depends on your engine.
Ah! That's pretty sound, in essence you're just moving everything all at once instead of forcing the bit parts to always follow your mask around.
Thanks Radix, and good to see you back!
