Example with sprite as colission VS colision mask

[guepard]

There is an example that uses a hidden sprite with the shape of a rectangle as collision.

Why not to use the colision mask? There is any advantaje?

Platformer with Tile Map Object is the name of the example

EDIT: Ok, I think the advantadge is that coilision mask doesn’t affect to platform behaviour.

You’re wrong, the collision mask affects the platformer behavior.

True you are right but then my original question. What’s the advantage of the colision sprite used in the example?

Edit: Ok, doing tests it is in order to have a more consistent and smooth interaction with platforms since colisions mask can change a lot between animations.
