Trouble setting the shape of gralats.

This allows you to easily create blocking NPC's that also draw a portion of the player(like a tree) simply by aligning it correctly in the gani. This is the same method that 2k2 uses on most of their trees and houses.

It works well when you just need **** that blocks, yes. I'm more concerned about the "hitboxes" for the PlayerTouchsMe event when using showcharacter and ganis, because these seem to be friggin strange in every possible aspect.
