    You would have to know the exact number of pixels from the center of the actor to its hand. You would also have to constrain two real attributes to the actors X and Y coordinates( call them PlayerX and PlayerY). Then, in the weapon actor, Constrain self.position.X to PlayerX + (distance from player's center to hand) and constrain self.position.Y to the height of the hand.

    So how would i find the exact pixels of the hand? Do i zoom in as much as i can and count or is there another method?

    Nah just punch in your best guess. And preview, and adjust until you get it right

    my guess is you can make a seperate actor and just put the actor on the hand and see the position of that actor.. lol
