How doI Set an objects position in the direction of an angle

It's kind of hard to explain but what I want to do is basically: Set Object1 to Object2's X position + 50. But if Object 2 rotates, I want Object1 to rotate as if it was attached to Object2.

I can't just move an image point either because the distance will vary a lot.

I also can't use the "Move at angle" command either for other reasons. It has to be Set Position.

I remember back when I used MMF2 I found an equation online that used tan(?) or something like that. I know very little about math when it comes to angles but I'm sure it is possible.

Can anybody help me out?

Thanks for any input

I think what you need is Pin behavior.

Set Object2 position, then pin it to Object1 as "Position and Angle".

Hey thanks for the response

This would work if it allowed me to change the distance between the 2 objects.

So far I don't see any options with the pin behavior that would allow me to do that.

here's a capx

I would like to make it so that I could change the position of the blue object to be closer or farther away, but still behave as though it was attached in this way.

Sorry, I misunderstood your question.

Is this what you want?

Yes thank you this is exactly how I want the objects to behave

I think I understand how to do what I want now and will try to do it.

Thanks a lot for the help
