How do I make a RididBody2D outside of a CanvasLayer collide with an area2D inside of a CanvasLayer?

It started because first I needed some areas that follow the camera, so CanvasLayer did the job. Inside the CanvasLayers (the layer that follows the camera) I put some areas to execute a script whenever a number of RigidBody objects outside of the CanvasLayer are inside these areas in the layer, however…

Apparently what is inside the canvas layer is treated as a “separate dimension” from normal game layers, is there any way to make the collision among them happen?

Also: the collision happens normally when I put the areas outside of the Canvaslayer so it isn’t any imprudence in the coding.

You would run a check at the usual signal, but for argument you pass a “body” instead of an area. So:

func “on_Area2D_entered”(body):
    If body.name == “yourObjectName”:
        #then your code
