launching objects

[beydman]

I have found that sometimes the objects that are launched(shot) come from different places. For instance, when hitting space bar the object first launches from his foot and then next way above the characters head. It seems to be random??
Can you set the location that an object is launched from and make it relative to a character?

That would be the action point you're looking for. In the animation editor you can display the action point by clicking the icon next to the one that is an eye (the hotspot), it looks like a little target.

Found it thanks, it still randomly launches above his head every once in a while. Any thoughts??

I figured it out. You need to set the active point on each frame.
