How do you repel objects away form a area? Example:

[mrcdk]

You could take the difference between the Area2D global_position and the obj global_position and move the object with the opposite vector.

A quick example:

extends Area2D


func _process(delta: float) -> void:
	for other_area in get_overlapping_areas():
		var diff = global_position - other_area.global_position
		other_area.global_position += -diff.normalized() * delta * 100.0
