Pinning/mirror problems, foreach instances

I have an enemy that I want to pin a tail on. I'm trying to use foreach to pin the closest tail to it's nearest body. Here's an example:

As you see, that isn't working, only one of them is pinning properly. Secondly, I'd like to pin the tail to the tail image point on the body, but I'm not sure how and I can't find the plugin download that allows pin to image point, if that is even needed anymore.

Thirdly, mirroring isn't working on the pinned tail, when the body and tail are mirrored, the tail stays at it's initially pinned position. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong on these three acounts?

Thanks so much! So, how does it work for multiple enemies, just it automatically assign the multiple tails to the body? Is the setposition expression more beneficial than using the Pin for certain applications such as this?

Sorry, wrong thread

Tried combining the container approach with this, and now the tail is offset and kinda moves slightly delayed? https://www.dropbox.com/s/o2yns4czyguw2 ... .capx?dl=0

There isn't a container, only an object called container..

Besides that I guess the issue is now that events are read top to bottom and the tail is set to the imagepoint before other events move your weasel..

so it is actually always one tick behind in movement..

Sorry, I had it on my in-game version but forgot to add to this example. I've reuploaded, moved the events and added the container but the tail is still offset? Really appreciate your help so far! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy"> https://www.dropbox.com/s/ngqbuxtfpfuor ... .capx?dl=0

In this kind of cases, it is due to the fact that the object you are moving is not the weasel but its collision box.

That's where the offset is coming from, pin actually do the positioning of the object after the events are read.

To fix, the best would be to actually position the tail depending on an imagepoint on the collision box itself, not the animation/weasel.

Or to have the weasel moving/being positioned manually every tick like the tail is.

Thanks for the suggestion, it works now by pinning to the container: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b5ph31o3xnh9t ... .capx?dl=0

So, how come the pin works properly when ordered like this?

Okay, here's the final trouble with this weasel, I have the angles sorted out nicely for the actual body, but the tail is wanging off at a funny kank for some reason, is the orientation of the tails angle defined by some coordinate I'm not aware of?

I fixed it by setting the angle of the container to match the terrain also, seems okay now!
