How do I make a sprite ride onto another?

I get as much as setting a position to an object, but the problem is that it makes the player object warp onto a different instance of that object rather than the closest (directly overlapping) thing.

Try using collission or overlap conditions to specify which instance is being picked specifically, then pin the player to the object.

That worked! Now though I'm wondering; is there any way I can get the player object to connect from -where- it was when it started riding, rather than onto a set image point?

Yes that should be the simpler behavior actually - right when they overlap, pin player to object (suggest adding Trigger Once as well).

I made an example for someone else, for picking up an object. Not exactly what your situation, but you should be able to get the idea.

Seems to help a bit but I'm scratching my head at an inconsistency where the player doesn't want to follow the object's movements. It sticks to one position for a moment while overlapping only.

Is your player being unpinned by another event? Do you have any other events adjusting your player position? Pin should work even if objects aren't touching.

Ok, I've got it now! Thank you for the help!
