Re: [pygame] Scaling the hitbox/rect of a sprite

[Christopher Night <cosmologicon@xxxxxxxxx>]

You don't need to do that. rect.inflate already preserves the center. The question is more about how to use a separate rect for hitbox than you do for blitting.

To preserve the center:

ÂÂÂ pos = self.rect.center
ÂÂÂ self.rect = self.rect.inflate(-85, -20)

ÂÂÂ self.rect.center = pos

Hi everybody,

How can you scale the hitbox of a sprite? I tried self.rect =
self.rect.inflate(-85, -20) and that scaled the rect correctly (to the
center of the rect), but the game still takes the upper left corner of the
rect as the blit position for the image/surface. That means the rect covers
only the upper left part of the sprite, so that the left half of the sprite
image can be hit and the right half can't be hit.

Regards,
Skorpio
