Help with animation...

azavega

Ok I need to make an animation that have a bat swinging and this object or actor have to collide with a ball, problem is that if I use photoshop to do it, every scene where the bat its on an angle its been save like a whole square, bigger than the bat of course, so when i put the animation on gamesalad the ball collides with the outside square long before hit the bat... Am I doing something wrong? any way I can fix that?
Help please

I'd say have a separate invisible actor for the bat that acts as the actual bat, whereas the animation is just visuals. This way you can move it around wherever you want and make sure the collision is perfect

What I'm trying to do its like the sticks you got on the pinball game... something that swings like that...
