Making a sprites 'solid' area smaller than the visible image

[chrismorgan]

Hi,

I have looked for a solution to my problem but have not found one.

The problem is this.  I have a sprite (representing the player) wearing a hat.  I want all the sprite to be visible, but I don't want the hat to be involved in collisions.  For example if an enemy hits the hat the player will not be injured, or if the the player walks through a tunnel, but the hat is above the top of the tunnel, it will not stop the player.

What is the solution please?

Cheers,

Chris.

I'm pretty sure that it isn't possible.

Actually, I can think of one way to do it. Make your player sprite without the hat. Create a second sprite for the hat. Have the hat set to ride on top of the player.
