pin object

I am having issues pinning my text object to my player when it moves. I have the player box and text on the same layer as well...just not sure..what happens, I move it and the text just stays there.

you can play it through this link...

right now I have it setup different, I used a Append and set position to another object...it follwed the character but I couldnt change the location of the text to put it to the upper left part of the screen.

You could use a second layer, set the paralax to 0,0 and position the text in the upperleft corner of the dotted lines in your layout.

If you use scale for your project it would be even better to use the anchor behaviour for it to stay in the same position even if the layout is rescaled.

i tried to mimic this..but couldnt get it to work

Just move the text where you want it to be relative to your player and pin it on start of layout.

not sure how to pin it to layer...

so I go to my text..add a Pin behavior..go to events..what do I do..because I dont see a pin to layer.

on start of layout - text : pin to player.

It might be useful to read the manual and follow some tutorials to learn the basics of working with events, actions and conditions.

got it to work, not sure why its working now..but thanks

maybe its because i did, system..on start of layout..pin to..player

This worked well right here...had to move some stuff around.
