Need a hand with my character's eyes!

[gildattack]

this is strange, now it sticks but its kaos when i move the controller... anyone there?

you have a whole bunch of constraints telling the eyes a very specific way of behaving doesn't make sense. Your using a rotation constraint to tell your eyes to rotate the same way as your eye controllers, but then aiming the eyes at the characters center, the origin constraint says your eyes have to be a set distance away for the character and then the position constraints specify where they should be positioned but the rotations are still local tot eh eyes themselves not the character.

I'd throw out the whole constraint setup and start fresh. SURFACE constrain the EYES to the HEAD, this way they stick to the surface itself. You can set the axis to Z+ and the constrain to phong normal. Then use the POSITION constraint to have the position of your controllers move the eyes along the surface. you will probably want to have the inside surface of the eyes be a separate mesh so it doesn't also use the eye lids.
