How can mouse detection follow the contours of my specific polygon?

Question

I’m experiencing an issue with Area2D in Godot where the mouse_entered signal is only being triggered as if the polygon were a rectangular bounding box, despite my CollisionPolygon2D having a custom shape. How can I ensure that the mouse detection accurately follows the contours of my specific polygon shape and not just its bounding rectangle?

i tried with mouse_shape_entered signal:

then i tested both mouse entered and not, it’s the same thing, what godot full version name are you using?

thank for your help again !!

my godot version is
Godot Engine v4.2.stable.official.46dc27791 - https://godotengine.org

yeah this one is strange, can i see your code for the mouse entered

also how do you display collision shape on runtime?

[pixelcrab]

here is my code

extends Area2D
func _on_mouse_entered():
print(“enter”)
func _on_mouse_exited():
print(“exit”)

here to display collision shape

i displayed, but it’s fine here, i read the code and how the signal is connected are both the same as mine wow

i also i checked the changelogs,from 4.2.1-rc1 to 4.2.1-stable, there are no changes in regard for this polygon or mouse entered for collision object 2d

Your answer helped me find the problem! I switched to using the add-on physics engine Box2D because I saw on YouTube that it performs better and is more stable. I’ve been using it without any issues, so I completely forgot that it could be the reason.

Thank you so much for your help, and Happy New Year!!
