How to make the illusion of hugging?

[MoiMoiisbadatthis]

So basically I am trying to make two event sprites hug...
the only issue is they cant
1. Be put on top of each other
2.cant be put close enough to appear like hugging
I know I could use a hug sprite
but I'd prefer not to make one...
Im also using images
...and if i have to use a sprite are there any good
VX style sprite bases?

I suppose the easiest non-plugin way is to make both characters transparent, put a picture on the screen for each and move the pictures close together to simulate hugging.

Ah Though i am kinda looking for plugin methods too
I am thinking of pixel movement? but im not sure if itd mess up any other events
and if they could even move that close using it

similair to the sprite behavier (kissing)?

if so, you need to time it nicely to get it done though.

I use QMovement (for pixel movement) and QSprite (for character animations) in my game. https://quxios.github.io/plugins You can see them in action in the video in my signature.

edit: Worth noting you can actually set the grid size 1 pixel by 1 pixel, so anything can get within a pixel of stuff. I actually don't even do that for my game because it's not necessary and more it processor intensive so I actually set the grid size to 24 by 24. But for a game that's more slow paced, it would be fine.
