Hi. How can I get to the node the player is colliding with?
This node is in another scene but I dont think it will make any difference.
(by get to the node I mean smth like get_node). The body I am colliding with is Area2D.

What type of node is your player body?

If you move your player with move_and_collide, it returns colliding bodies in its return value: KinematicBody2D — Godot Engine (3.1) documentation in English

An alternate way is to detect collisions the other way around, from your area instead by using body_entered signal.

Both solution don’t require you to use get_node because they provide the body node directly.
