How do I have an Area2D track and follow a KinematicBody2D?

0 votes

Hey all, I'm new to using Godot, and I'd like a little assistance in putting together some things. Namely, a magnetic mine that follows the player when the enter an Area2d (named "DetectionArea", though it also would be the tracking space.)

How can I apply a thrust to the "Mine" so that it tries to get to the player's ship?

Is "DetectionArea" subnode of magnetic mine? If it is, then check is Player entered DetectionArea of magnetic mine with corresponding signal bodyentered( ) . Then apply force in direction of a vector between mine and Player ("angleto" function of Vector2 class).
