As per the title, I'd like to have a sprite with for example dimensions 64px by 64px but have it's sprite shape (collision shape) extend so say 64px by 128px so that it extends past the sprites dimensions. Is this possible or does the sprite collision shape have to be within the bounds of the sprite image?

I'm just doing some planning and don't have access to my AGK.

I'm not sure, but if it isn't possible would this work?
Attach two sprites together and hide the large one and use that for the collision shape, and it should work just fine. Kind of like the character controllers in Unity.

Yes, I thought about that and there's a command that allows for you to detect sprite collisions with an arbitrary box….but trying for a simple solution. I've got my main player split into body and legs, so hoping to be able to extend the body hit box down to encompass the legs too.

I haven't tried it, but I imagine you can do this with SetSpriteShapeBox( iSpriteIndex, x, y, x2, y2, angle )...
