    as far as I know you'd need to be able to adjust an actor's anchor point to do that (or parent actors) and as far as I know there's no way to do that in GS. I hope I'm wrong because I would love those features.

    Or... I just realized a work around but you'll have to figure out the math... you can change the actor's rotation to be the vector between the wrench and the screw, and then constrain its x position by the mag from the wrench and the screw as it moves in Y- then X+ then Y+ etc.
