I am currently working on a 2D card trading multiplayer game, I saw a video tutorial on youtube about drag and drop functionality (https://youtu.be/iSpWZzL2i1o), the card objects are overlapping each other and when selected to drag they get together and also the card selected stays behind the cards instanced after them.
So how would I implement single object drag and drop functionality even on overlapping card objects(instanced).

EDIT:
The object is a area2D node with sprite and collision shape2D as child.

This site has loads of other beginner tips, or “recipes” for common problems. I highly recommend you look through them!

The article is related to rigid bodies so the objects won’t overlap,
But I want them to overlap and only a single object should be dragged.
