Hello CB,

I guess your player node is a KinematicBody2D. That means your Area2D is capable of detecting collisions between them.

There are a few things to check, in order to get that work:

  • Did you connect the signal body_entered of your Area2D to a node, which has a script attached to it?
  • Does the script have a method something called like _on_Area2D_body entered ?
  • Does your Area2D and KinematicBody2D have a CollisionShape2D ?
  • Does the property collision_mask of your Area2D matches with the property collision_layer of your KinematicBody2D?

I suggest you to read more about Signals :-).
