There are several things wrong with your movement code:

  1. Don’t normalize move(). That makes it very small and cancels out your speed.

  2. Don’t assign the returned value of move_and_collide() to move. The return from move_and_collide() is a KinematicCollision2D object.

  3. Use delta in your movement: move_and_collide(move * delta)

If it still doesn’t work, you may not be detecting the player. Put a print(body.name) in your body_entered callback and confirm that it’s happening.

I don’t agree with 1):

normalizing should be done, but multiply with the speed AFTER the normalization.

I also think move_and_slide should be replaced with move_and_slide. Then no delta and assigning to move is correct.

Normalizing and multiplying by speed was already done. direction_to() returns a normalized vector. Doing it again is pointless.

oh, you are right. i confused direction_to and subtracting the vectors. sorry
