Collision detection of object bottom with other object top

Hi,

Im doing a game where i need to detect if an object’s (hero) bottom is colliding/touching other object’s (ground/ a pillar as in spring ninja),

i went through the docs, looks like there is no out of the box support for detecting collisions on sides (like objects right side is colliding or bottom is  touching etc).

is there some way to achieve this?

TIA,

Nischal Y

The concept of a ‘foot sensor’ (from the article) can be applied in any direction, or multiple.

Great, exactly what i wanted
