Pinning issues

I have an object pinned to another, but it seems to lag behind the initial sprite. Am I doing something wrong, here?

Here's the code.

Aaannnnnd this is what happens when the player is jumping. The blue box is the hitbox, which holds the 8Direction behavior.

The shadow stays pinned fine, but the player_sprite object moves away from the player_hitbox.

In the jumping animation, the image points are moved around a bit, but the "flying" animation has the image point in the same place. The 8Direction speed is changed a bit as well during the jump animation.

Is this an issue with the pin behavior?

It is a known issue with pin. Try connecting objects with hierarchy instead.

Oh, that's a shame. Are their any plans to fix it? Is it even fixable?

This has been discussed many times, try searching the forum. Here is one post I found:

The issue usually happens when you make a "chain" of pinned objects - pin B to A, then pin C to B. As I understand, this is not the case in your project.

You can try rearranging the objects in folders. Say, try putting both objects into one folder, or in separate folders. This sometimes changes the order in which behaviors are processed and may fix the lagging issue.

Or simply use the hierarchy.
