Area2D detects a frame late

[gertkeno]

Direct physics queries allow you to detect collision at any point in code without a node. The nodes require their own processing time where direct queries happen immediately.

Here’s a link to another post of mine with a sample using a ShapeQuery

Area2D Not Detecting Collision Soon Enough

That makes sense! Instead of using node-based collision you can query physics collisions from the world, though you may see better performance by keeping the query object between tree-spawns and only changing the position. func treeSpawn(): var world := get_world_2d().direct_space_state var query := PhysicsShapeQueryParameters2D.new() query.shape = tree_spawner_shape # A Shape2D resource, such as a CircleShape2D query.transform.origin = Vector2(randi_range(-1427, 1427), randi_range(-727, 72…
