HI! I'm making a scrolling MOTHER 1 engine, and the hitbox won't move after it touches the walls. I've tried several methods, but none of them worked. Any way to fix?

I know that griffpatch_tutor has a tutorial on platformers. In it, he describes having a costume named “Hitbox” on the sprite, and have a forever loops that looks something like this:

forever
switch costume to (animate)
code
switch costume to [hitbox v]
end

I can't remember if the hitbox is the one at the bottom or top of the loop. You would have to check out his project, for more details.

Generally to my knowledge (and from experience), hitboxes, movement and wall collisions come first. THEN all the graphic/sprite assets of a game are applied after all of the collision checks.

Though from what I've seen, everyone has their own way of coding such projects, so it depends how you want to set up your game.

@NMario84 It's based off EarthBound Beginnings (MOTHER 1) on the NES, and I want to keep it as faithful to the original as possible.
