Collision polygon question

Is it possible to make an object's collision polygon larger than the object itself? Has anyone ever done this?

I think the way to do that is to increase the transparent background.

I see -- so what you're saying is that I would need to make the texture itself larger (with more invisible space around it), so that the collision box around the actual object is then larger.

That's how I would handle it.

i believe you can also change an object collision poly through the editor

Yes, you edit the collision polygons in the TGB editor; however, you cannot extend the collision polygon's vertices beyond the size of the object. The range of the vertex values is (-1, 1).
