  You'll have to use a game attribute like game.playerrotate instead of self.rotate and then constrain 1) game.playerrotate to self.rotate on the main actor and 2) constrain self.rotate to game.playerrotate on the picked up objects.

  I'd use two constrain attribute on the "gun" actor and 1 REAL game.attribute
  
  Create a game.attribute that's a real attribute, call it game.PlayerRotation
  
  On your player do Constrain Attribute: game.PlayerRotation to self.rotation
  
  On the gun actor,
  Constrain Attribute self.rotation to game.PlayerRotation
  
  This will make the gun rotate with the player.

  i tried doing the constrain attribute and it will rotate with the player but my problem is it is offset from the player(it is 16 pixels up in the y) how do i keep it in the same angel when he turns( if i turn him 90 degrees counter clockwise then the gun should be 16 pixels offset in the x)this is what im trying to get to work.
  
  the gun needs to stay on his right arm.

  Search for Example rotation in the new tab and download that. It shows hot to make something rotate from a point other than the center.
  
  The only difference is you will need to constrain your players rotation to a game attribute and then instead of a joystick controlling the rotation just constrain game.angle in the demo to the players rotation. and it will just always match it.
