How do I create a balloon

Hi guys I have a balloon that moves to the player but how do i create the string that pinned to the player and the balloon that gets longer depending on if the balloons far away and shorter when it get closer?

Create a sprite "BalloonString" - a horizontal line.

Set origin image point at its left end.

Set position of this sprite to the player's hand and pin it to the player.

Then do this:

On every tick
  BalloonString -> set Width to Distance(player.x, player.y, balloon.x, balloon.y)
  BalloonString -> set Angle towards position (Balloon.x, balloon.y)
