I am trying to make a game where the main character can pick up and use different weapons. I want each weapon to be a seperate active object that always sets its position to where the character's hand is.

The problem is, even when I use the event "always set postition to 0(x coordinate), 0(y coordinate) from active object 1," The weapon always lags behind the character whenever he moves.

Is there anyway to solve this problem?

You can experiment, if you hold down left, take 1 from alterable value, if you press right add 1, and limit it until its right-the use set Xposition to X(player) + value A and Y(player)+ value B. Sorry if it's not well explained.

Nononono, dont do that.

This way is so much easier, and is perfect.

PLAYER FACES LEFT DIRECTION: Set position of gun to Player at whatever, set direction to LEFT

PLAYER FACES RIGHT DIRECTION: Set position of gun to Player at whatever, set direction to RIGHT

Thats it!

The best way to do this is to use custom movement. (Dumb I.e) =

*Player pressed "Left" - player.x = player.x - 1, weapon.x = weapon.x - 1

This makes there be no lag on the repositioning.

Thanks! I was using normal movement before, but it worked a whole lot better to make a custom movement!

Just make another active object with the movement, then always set the position of the weapon and the character to it.
