Pin an object to a moving imagepoint ?

Hi.

I want to stuck a moveable hat on my character. My character has an imagepoint "head" which is different for each animation frame.

I want my sprite hat always beeing on this imagepoint regardless the animation frame.

I tried the simplest way, as a each tick -> set hat position to character imagepoint

But it doesn't work as the hat is always 1 frame late and seems to "follow" the head instead of beeing pinned on it.

Actually I'm using this :

each tick ->

• hat Pin Unpin
• set hat position set hat position to character imagePoint
• hat Pin pin to character

It does the trick but seems ugly to me.

Is there a more proper way to achieve this ?

not tried but how about

head - on frame change --- unpin hat

--- position hat on object image point "Hat"

--- pin hat

?

I recommend rex's pin to imagepoint behavior. It's quite simply excellent.

Have you tried it without the pin behavior?

I see no reason to use that if you set the position every tick.

RamPackWobble : Didn't thought about this condition ! I'll try it.

Colludium : I prefer not using external plugins or behavior if I can achieve something easily, but I will take a look at it !

Asmodean : I tried and I mentionned it.

If you add a wait(0) seconds action before the set position, or put the event after the events changing the position/frame of the sprite this should work..

(Construct2 reads events top to bottom)

It doesn't work. Finally I used rex's behavior as it is quite straightforward.

too late again - but here is my test of above - appears to work but with simple movement. Nothing wrong with using plugins - there are many excellent one available to us.
