Sometimes, the bounding box of the hit area is not the size that we need. This can cause problems with collisions. In the example below, even if the ninja was able to dodge an obstacle, without such a big hit area (shown in purple around the ninja), the player is sure to hit something accidentally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Problems at runtime<\/h2>\n\n\n\nHowever, when I ran the code, it didn’t work. It worked after the player had landed on the ground. But I couldn’t get it to work the way I had in the console. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
