I am trying to get a Area2D to send a signal to a KinematicBody2D to move.

Here is the Area2D code:

extends Area2D

signal hit

func _ready():
	pass

func _on_Area2D_area_shape_entered(area_id, area, area_shape, self_shape):
	emit_signal("hit")

And here is the KinematicBodys code:

extends KinematicBody2D


var motion = Vector2(0, 0)


func _ready():
	pass

func _on_Area2D_hit():
	motion.y = -500
	move_and_slide(motion)

This is my first time, so sorry if I sound like an idiot.

Are you connecting the player to the signal?

(source_node).connect((signal_name), (target_node), (target_function_name))
