How do I set object position to character, then stop?

Its a character that drops a briefcase when clicked on, so I set breifcase x/y to character x/y but it stays on the character as he moves.. I need the briefcase to stop where the character was at that moment.. ?

My guess is that you are doing a platformer and that your player is on one layer and the level is on another.

When you create the briefcase, create it on the level layer.

simple way to do it
