Need help with postion.

[Clickboy]

I need an object to follow my main character's hand in the game that I'm making, the object follows his hand, but when he starts moving the object gets a little offset from it.

My code: Always (set postion of "object" to character)

The animations and hotspots are all taken care of too.
Is there anything that I'm doing wrong, beacuse this used to work with tgf and mmf 1.5, not with mmf2. :\

The events for setting the position of the hand should come after anything that moves the object in the event list - try putting the event to the bottom.

I don't quite understand what you mean.
You can check out the file itself, I want the (fire) object to only stay on the mage's hand, I don't want it to float around it.

You can downlaod it here: http://rapidshare.de/files/32777477/Mage.rar

The issue here is that before every frame is drawn, all the built-in movements are handled after your event list has been run through. This means that the flame, which is set to its position by an event, is positioned before the mage object has moved, making it appear to lag behind slightly.

A common way to fix this is to use a separate "collider" object that is invisible and uses the movement you need, and to set both the mage and flame to the correct positions by using a "Set position" event.

I kind of understand what you are saying, I am still a noob at mmf. Do you think that you could make and example? It would be very helpfull. <img src="/center/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

What he is saying is that your object is moved onto the hand, then the whole person is moved.

Here you are - I've changed your original Mage object to an invisible collider (the magenta rectangle), and the mage that the player sees is moved on top of it along with the flame.
