anyone know how to get things to stick to your character?

I want my little rectangular block player to be able to pick up a small rectangular gun off the ground, how do i get the gun to stick to my player so it kind of looks like hes carrying it?
i also wanted to give my player little block eyes too if i could

you need to make 2 Real global attributes

PLAYER X
PLAYER Y

then constrain them to the player's X and player's Y location

then constrain what ever objects, gun, etc. to those 2 attributes

You could constrain the guns position to the blocks position + whatever offset you want.

But for performance sake, youre better off just resizing the actor and changing its image to show it holding a block.

Thanks, i looked at a youtube video and did that

I'm not quite sure why you rejected the answer @johnmulcahy gave you... He essentially said the same thing and was correct about having it done with images. Unless it's a rotating gun or something like that, then it will be infinitely better on processor power than constraining the e and y values to the character.

I rejected his answer because I was wondering how a cube block can pick up a gun, not have the gun stick to him the whole time,
but i guess the way you do that is constraining x y , vel xy, and angular velocity, at least i think, havent tried yet though
