Question about Regions!

So i've been having a bit of trouble using regions.
Nothing too complex, but I can't for the life of me figure out why it's not positioning properly.





I want this region to follow her, which it does perfectly.

However, it doesn't center itself on her like I expected it too and I cant figure out why. Anyone have any ideas?

It's weird, No matter what numbers I plug into the X or Y it doesn't budge at all.

I have found a solution! Seems I have to make my actors origin point upper left, and not middle for the region to be in the middle of the actor.  :o

where do you customize the origin point at ?

Right here! Mine were all set to center, which created the weirdness with the region box. Soon as I started to change them around, the region box also followed. Hope this helps anyone in the future with this problem.

bluebean, when you tried Liberado's suggestion, did you remove the 'make [region] follow [actor] block? I ask because even though you found a solution, changing the origin point of an actor's animation can have other, unintended consequences (like when you rotate or scale the actor).

I tried it with, and without the block. Cleaned the project multiple times, literally nothing worked, that box refused to adjust itself at all.
