Question

I have two functions, one that triggers when the area is exited, and another that triggers when the area has something in it and the user clicks. The problem is, when the input function is triggered, it will trigger the area_exited function at the same time. How could I make it where only the appropriate function is triggered?

func _on_area_entered(area):
	inside = true

func _on_area_exited(area): # Area Exited Function
	inside = false
	print("Trigger")

func _input(event): # Input Function
	if event.is_action_pressed("Click") and inside == true:
		give_points.emit()
		clear_dot()
		print("Trigger")

I do normally check the area group. You can put nodes in groups. So your code is looking for “any” area.
But if you are looking for an enemy, you should check your signals with if statements. Like:

func _on_area_exited(area): # Area Exited Function
        if(area.is_in_group("enemy")):
	    inside = false
	    print("Trigger")

Your can code react to any area that it hits. But you normally have to check for a specific area.
