apparently, you don’t need a body sprite at all. you only need one sprite, and so long as that one sprite never changes size, you’re golden.

What do you mean? I always only use 1 sprite for a player.

The annoying thing is when the animation makes it bob up and down

No, I made one sprite for the character animations and one invisible body sprite that worked out all the physics.

It’s useful to stop the player glitching when walking into walls but requires you to think about 2 player sprites which can get very complicated.
