Colliding with an invisible body?(Solved)

Question

The barrel sprite has a collision body which the character having collision body near the feet interacts with.
But, for some reason the character is also colliding with something in front of the collision body.

Sprite node hierarchy:
StaticBody2D
under that,
CollsionBody2D
Sprite2D

I had a similar problem with my wall sprite in my game.

character script(if that helps):
extends CharacterBody2D

@export var SPEED = 150.0
@export var HEALTH = 100.0
var move = true
var roll_status = true

#For aim
var rotate=0
var aim_min = -75
var aim_max = 75

func _ready():
$pivot.visible = false

func _physics_process(delta):
if Input.is_action_just_pressed(‘move_1’):
$pivot.visible = false
move = not move
if move:
velocity = Vector2.ZERO
if(Input.is_action_pressed(‘left_1’)):
velocity.x -= SPEED
if(Input.is_action_pressed(‘right_1’)):
velocity.x += SPEED
if(Input.is_action_pressed(‘up_1’)):
velocity.y -= SPEED
if(Input.is_action_pressed(‘down_1’)):
velocity.y += SPEED
if(Input.is_action_just_pressed(‘shoot_1+roll_1’)):
roll()
if not move:
$pivot.visible = true
velocity = Vector2.ZERO
if Input.is_action_pressed(‘up_1’):
rotate-=5
if Input.is_action_pressed(‘down_1’):
rotate+=5
rotate = clamp(rotate,aim_min,aim_max)
$pivot.rotation_degrees = rotate
if Input.is_action_just_pressed(‘shoot_1+roll_1’):
shoot()
move_and_slide()

func shoot():
const bullet_scene = preload(“res://scenes/bullet.tscn”)
var bullet = bullet_scene.instantiate()
get_parent().add_child(bullet)
bullet.rotate = rotate
bullet.Name = ‘character’
bullet.global_position = $pivot/aim.global_position

func headshot():
dead()

func bodyshot():
HEALTH-=50
if HEALTH <= 0:
dead()

func dead():
var parent = get_tree().get_current_scene()
parent.game_over(‘\nPlayer 2 won’)
$“.”.queue_free()

func roll():
if roll_status:
SPEED+=100
$Roll.start()
roll_status = false

func _on_roll_timeout():
SPEED-=100
roll_status = true

Please put your code between ``` one the lines above and below your code. But no, I don’t think it’s your code because that’s not where collision detection is usually done (and you don’t have any collision detection in it that I can see).

I suspect that the problem you are having has to do with collision mask and layers. You are most likely colliding with something else. What’s the yellow background made from?

Hello there,thanks for reaching out. I did figure out the problem and it quite simple and stupid on my part. I was using a collisonbody2d as pivot for my aim which was causing the issue.
Any idea how I can close/delete this post?
