In my game i have a tank and a separate actor for the gun when the tank moves it leaves the gun in its spot. How do i keep the gun attached to the tank?

Make game attributes for the X and Y positions of the tank (and rotation if you want the gun to move with it).
In the tank actor, constrain these X and Y game attributes to self.position.x and self.position.y.
Then on the gun actor, constrain self.position.x and self.position.y to the X and Y game attributes.
Do the same for rotation if you want that constrained too.
That just made the gun disappear.

i fix the disappear thing but it still doesn't work

In what way doesn't it work?
@Jarritos In future, please don't make duplicate threads in different Forums - it's against the rules, and can cause confusion.
(I've deleted your duplicate thread).
BUMP:

thx gyro
Since I'm not really sure what you're trying to accomplish, or why what I suggested didn't work, take a look at the example below. It is a tank with very basic movement and a gun attached that moves with it but swivels independently (towards the cursor).
Note that in order to keep the gun centrally located on the tank, rather than use any fancy maths I just made the gun empty space bigger. This means the gun itself could not be used to detect collision, only the tank. Fancy maths could do the same job if that's important to you.
Refresh the page if the attachment doesn't show up.
when i try that it only does it one time then stops i have constrained attributes

Please post screenshots of the rules you are using.
jorritos go to layers and make another layer and uncheck scrollable and drag the gun actor to the non-scrollable layer. if your tank does not controll the camera, this will not work.
ok here they are

sorry freeze this did not work for me, but thanks for your help anyway

There is no need to place the two constrain behaviours within the 'every 0 seconds' timer.
ok socks thx

at the very begining it is doing this
All of your images are showing as broken for me.
thats weird socks could see them maybe this will work
Can you see the images you have put in your posts ?
no socks and don't know why
Jarritos
It's pretty safe to say that if you can't see the images in your posts then no one can. I expect your image links aren't properly formatted.
ok. I don't know how to post screenshots if that didn't work.
