Question

how to change the offset of collisionshape2d or other collision nodes like collisionpolygon2d and etc

2

Could you be more specific? You can use the move tool (w) in the 2D viewport to offset/position collisionshapes and any other node2d.

3

the pivot based on which they rotate, you cant do that with the move tool

4

If you move the collision shape and rotate it’s parent it will pivot on the parent’s origin. I can’t think of a situation where that doesn’t work, if it doesn’t for you could you post your scene tree set up?

5

what if i have multiple collision nodes and i want to rotate 1 specific collision node instead of rotating the parent (which have multiple collision nodes)

6

Could you share your scene tree? What are you working on that requires this? It seems hard to imagine, and the devil is in the details.

i am trying to make a 2d game where the player interact with a 3d world(by rotating the x,y plane in z direction )so when the rotation occur i want my collisions shapes to rotate as well but currently they are not rotating on the specific pivot i want so i want to change the pivot

this tool doesn’t work for collisionshape2d

Could you put the CollisionShape2d inside of a node (Node2d for example) that can be pivoted? So it would be OriginalParent → PivotNode → CollisionShape2d?

yeah i did that for other objects, but i cant do it for specific nodes like characterbody or staticbody cuz characterbody needs a collision shape and if i do , characterbody → node —> collisionshape, the collisions are not working properly and the characterbody is giving me a warning to add collision shape

Huh, Yeah I can see the problem then. I can do more testing when I get home from work. But You could try doing a Node2d with a collision shape and then having a child that is your char with its own separate collision shape. Dont know if that would work for you though and it might be a pain later.

You could also try modifying the position of the Collison shape in code?

var CollisionShape= Character2D's.CollisionShape

CollisionShape.position = Vector2(0, 0)

Something like that. Again. I can help more later lol.

it seems like you cannot change the offset(pivot) of node2d too
