How do I Pin Object In the Layout Editor (not event sheet)

Hello;

I am in the Layout editor and I want to pin the hat on my sprite. I know the uid of the sprite, and the Hat has the Pin behavior. Is there a way in the layout editor to pin it to the sprite, or does this have to be done in code in the event sheet for the layout (say in the system condition "start of layout").

I can see the pin folder has stuff in the edittime.js but this all seems to have to do with the event sheet, not the layout.

thanks for your time

Please forgive me if I am wrong, I have crappy english.

I think what you want is an Anchor: https://www.scirra.com/manual/88/anchor

From the Manual on pin behaviour:

Simply adding the Pin behavior to an object does not do anything. You must use the Pin action to pin the object to another object.

So yes, you need an action in the event-sheet..

Thanks LittleStain;

I was afraid that was true, if I could just enter the pinned to UID in the properties area of PIN all would be well.

and thankyou jojoe, but I am not looking at anchor.

Thanks for your time.

Haha! i thought you where trying to pin somehting to the layout layer. I re-read your post, and now it makes sense. Glad you found a solution. LittleStain is a nice guy, he helps lots of people.

I wish I could have better reading comprehension, my English is really bad. Nice that you guys don't make fun of me. Sometimes I just totally miss things.
