func _on_Hurtbox_area_entered(_area):
variable = true

func _on_Hurtbox_area_exited(_area):
variable = false

firstly, are you gonna make use of the overlapping bodies properties? if you are, thats not a good solution.

second, if you just want to check if there is nothing overlapping your area, just do this:

func _process():
    variable = ($area2d.get_overlapping_bodies() == []) #empty or not (true/false)
