I’m new to Godot and doing my first game. It’s pretty simple, but even though I can’t handle one thing. I need a collision detector, simple signal that destroys one of the nodes when it’s space is colliding with player’s space, and gives points to the player. I’ve tried a lot with methods like the one shown in “Space Shooter Demo”, using Areas2D and CollisionShapes2D, but nothing happens. Do you have any ideas what have I missed?

Give more details of your scene setup (areas, shapes, masks and layers, in particular), because it should work with signal or overlap detection.

I’ve quickly tried it. What you need to use is a “connection”.

In the standard layout next ot the inspector tab there is a node tab, where you can select to connect the on_Area2D_enter function to your script. This will create a function in the Script which fires if another Area2D enters the connected Area.

My Code:

extends Node

func _ready():
pass

func _on_Area2D1_area_enter( area ):
print(“Too close”)
get_node(“Area2D1”).queue_free()

I knew it before, but after some more thinking I realized, how important is all this parent-child stuff. Simply adding everything to the same parent was enough to get everything working properly. Thanks again :slight_smile:
