Parts attatch in MMF?

I'm trying to make a game where parts like arms and legs are seperate from the body without the part start slowly moving away from the body when you move your character. How do I make parts lock solid on on the body? This would really help.

Thanks

I'm assuming you know how to position correctly. If you're using a static engine try putting an Always event with all movement input events

The pieces must constantly be set to varying positions of the main torso according to the properties specified by the animation frame in question

This is most easily done with a custom animation script

Xgoff's event must be placed at the very bottom of your events list to function properly

Oh that's why it almost never worked for me

Yeah, I figured that out too months ago. To this day, I still curse MMF's logic system for being so retarded.

It's nothing wrong with MMF; in fact, it's doing everything right.

Keep in mind that MMF does use code in its program, because it's making computer programs; and in a loop of code, every time the loop completes the graphical output is updated.

Wait, so why do Always events placed at the beginning always lag as they do?

If Always goes first, then events placed after Always will take effect and change the position of objects; the screen is then updated and then the Always event is checked again

You could also use actual loops in MMF.

MMF's entire code system is one big loop but if you mean FastLoops those are not necessary for this feature

However FastLoops will be necessary for flawless collision detection in which case the Always events' "set position of Part to Parent" actions must be copied into the fastloop events as well

Hmm... so that's what the child and parent features were for
