I’m trying to make a beat ‘em up type game and I’d like to have my sprites to have a hit box (on top of the sprite to capture hits), an attack box (to the right or left to register attacks) and a collision box (near the bottom to stop him when he hits a wall or something).  I think I’d need a separate PhysicsBody for each one since only the “collision box” would be able to do wall and item collisions.  The other two are just there to detect whether they’ve been punched or not.

The problem I’m running into is no matter how I implement it I have some sort of problem.  For example, I’ve had the “collision box” as the physics body of the sprite and then the “attack box” and “hit box” as child nodes.  But when the “collision box” hits something the “attack box” and “hit box” keep moving since they’re unaffected by physics.

Is there a good method for having these three PhysicsBody’s on my sprite or is there a better way that I’m not aware of?
