How to change sprite (player) collision?

[Kurtkakes]

i cant find out how to change collison of a character

ive searched with as many different words i could describing it, all it shows up is EVENT hitbox which i dont want



ill explain what i need help with

so for example default character sprite's collison is 1x1 tiles
but when I make the sprite taller (to 2x1 tiles) it's head will collide with the wall, i want only the bottom half of the character to collide with the wall
I want to make the collision box 1x1 tiles not 2x1 tiles
im a complete beginner and I would love it if it was explained simply

Usually "collision" affects whether something can move or not, but by default all characters use 1 tile for collision. E.g. a character with a sprite that looks 2 tiles tall will only collide based on the 1 tile they are standing on. In other words, the size of the sprite is only a visual effect and does not affect game mechanics (unless you use a plugin to change that).

Maybe you are just bumping into an invisible wall or character? In the database (Tools > Database), on the Tilesets tab, with "Passability" selected, you can click tiles to change their passability. Tiles marked O will allow movement; tiles marked X will block movement. Events set to Priority: Same as characters will also block movement.

Otherwise, it sounds like what you're actually talking about is tile priority, i.e. some tiles are being displayed on top of the player? One of the tile passability options for pages B~E is a star, which means the tile will not affect passability and will display on a layer above other tiles. This means if a tall character walks on the tile below a "star tile", the "star tile" will obscure the upper part of that character, like a roof. If you want to avoid that, maybe check out this plugin:

If you're not sure what you're doing, and you're using the default tiles that are there in a new project, I don't think you should be going to the database and changing the passability settings though, because they're all set up correctly, and you will break things even more by messing around with them.

You've explained what you want, and have been informed that that IS what happens by default.

So now you should explain what's happening instead, that makes you think it's not working properly. Screenshots will be very helpful. There may be something completely different going on, and nothing to do with collision at all.

For example, if you have followers visible (System tab) but you've deleted the first actor from the Actors tab but not from the Starting Party (System tab), it means on the map there will be a "blank" actor leading the party. So when you try to walk up to something or someone, you will only be able to get one tile away, not right next to them. The "blank" actor that you deleted is actually right next to them, but because they have no sprite, you won't be able to see them there.
