Is there a way to make the touch area of a CCSprite to be bigger?

#1

I have a CCSprite that is size 40px by 40px that is loaded into a CCMenu. But I want to make the touch area of the CCSprite to be bigger 80px by 80px. Is there a way to do this in code?

Did you try using yourSprite->setContentSize(YOUR_SIZE)? The position might be calculated wrong, but you can undo the offset manually if you have to

Also, you could handle touch detection code completely yourself, but you probably don’t want/need to do that.
