in godot 2 it was possible to change position of a rigidbody2d inside other nodes script using RigidBody2D.set_pos() but in godot 3 set_pos() not works because of interferes with the physics simulation…
the other way is changing Transform2D.origin using state.set_transform(Transform2D) inside _integrate_forces(state) and the problem is you can’t get a rigidbody’s state outside of _integrate_forces(state). is there any function to get state of other objects? or is it possible to change a rigidbody’s position without using state.set_transform()?
You’re confusing separate issues. set_pos() was not removed, it was changed to use the position member variable. All Node2D-derived nodes can now use
position = Vector2(x, y)
to set position.
RigidBody2D behavior has not changed. It was never a good idea to set the position directly.
Why not send a signal and/or call a function on the target body to tell it you want it to teleport, and then it does so in its integrate_forces() call?
i know pos changed to position and i used rigidbody.position=vector2(x,y) but it changes the position for only one frame and then it returns. i tried changing a variable of the target body as a signal and it worked fine, thank you.

Thanks for mentioning this issue.
I had the very same situation:
“i used rigidbody.position=vector2(x,y) but it changes the position for only one frame and then it returns.”
I simply created a new instance from my object to the new position.

That’s because as the RigidBody documentation explicitly says, you can’t set its position directly and expect it to work.
Thanks. Is there any best practice to move the RigidBody2d to a specific position within 1 frame.? In short:
I am looking for a way to Teleport rigidbody2d.
To safely and reliably teleport a rigid body, you have to use the Physics2DDirectBodyState. I have an example with explanation here: Godot 3.0: Rigid Bodies · KCC Blog
