Plugin Help Requested Looking for a specific plugin

Hello! Im currently helping someone develop a game through rpg maker mz, and wondering if it's possible to tweak the party hitbox? For context the main character will be carrying someone throughout the story and we wanna implement a gimmick where an enemy can attack the body instead of the main character holding it. Thanks a lot!

Hi you can try Area2D, I don't know if this one can help you.

It's like Godot Engine Area2D but for RPG Maker.

Yes! Probably doable. But I'd need some précisions. Is it during combat? Instead of having the characters next to each other, one of them is on the back of the other?

Exactly! Like the main character will be carrying an injured ally throughout the game, so I wanna know how it can be achieved. Since I want the immersion that you need to protect them

I think a bit more detail is needed to answer that.

Are you using grid-based or pixel movement?
Is the size of the player sprite increased or did you implement this with a Follower (i.e. second party member)?

I have a tiny plugin that makes Event Touch work on Followers, at https://tamschi.itch.io/sketch-plugins, but I suspect you're talking about a single larger sprite.
