func _on_Area2D8_body_entered(body):
if Input.is_action_pressed("opendoor"):
	get_tree().change_scene("res://basement.tscn")

this code it triggering instantly upon scene load. I do have code to wait one frame under the _ready function. i want it to trigger only when the player (KinematicBody2D) enters the area2d. The player does not spawn on an area2d.

maybe its colliding with something else

try to check if its the player it is detecting
body.get_name() == “PlayerName”

or better

try to have a dedicated collision layer for your player and change the collision mask of your detectors to that

I can confirm that problem. It seems to be some sort of bug in the engine.

You could try to use

yield(get_tree(), "idle_frame")

before adding the player to the scene.

Or set the initial position of the player to a very far away position, before adding it to the level and then setting it to the proper position, when entering the level.

Guess who helped me big boy! YOU!! 5 hours on this one. Guess its those chumps fault ahahahah Knew it wasnt my code… No no no
