Godot Version 4.6.3 Question I don’t know if this question has been answered for my specific case but I’ve been working on hit-boxes and hurt-boxes and I was able to get them to work, it’s just that when my player is constantly overlapping with the hurt-box it doesn’t re-trigger area_entered signal…

I actually have answered this question a number of times before, but without specifics it’s really hard to know what exactly you want. Also most people use body detection instead of hurt boxes. And well, I had stuff going on today. So first off, you are checking if the Area2D you encounter is a Hur…

(Re)set the flag in your signal handles and check its value in your processing function.

the best thing I can think of is: func _process(_delta: float) -> void: for overlapped_area in get_overlapping_areas(): if overlapped_area is Hitbox: if health_component.can_be_damaged: health_component.health_values.damage(overlapped_area.damage)

extends Area2D var is_colliding: bool = false func ready() -> void: body_entered.connect(_on_body_entered) body_exited.connect(_on_body_exited) func _on_body_entered(_body: Node2D) -> void: is_colliding = true func _on_body_exited(_body: Node2D) -> void: is_colliding = false

its working but I don’t have a way (that I know of) to get the damage value from the hurt-box I’ve tried referencing it on ready but gives nil

dragon’s code work somewhat but I don’t have a way (that I know of) to get the damage value from the hurt-box I’ve tried referencing it on ready but gives nil

Get it from the signal argument that you receive in _on_body_entered()

like? func _process(_delta: float) -> void: if is_colliding == true: if health_component.can_be_damaged: health_component.health_values.damage(area_entered.get_object().damage) I work better with visuals, sorry I didn’t clarify (words don’t help my tism brain much)

Code is not a visual. It’s also words. Here: func _on_body_entered(_body: Node2D) -> void: is_colliding = true _body is what collided. If that’s a hurtbox, get whatever you need from it and store it in some custom property you can inspect/use in _process(). The same principle you’re already doin…

what i mean by visual is the code and text is just typing what I should do, the main thing that I’m asking is just how to structure it to fit my hit-box code with a code visual because vague/loose text answers don’t help me much to understand. in other words, I don’t know how to store it in a custo…

Same as vague/loose questions don’t help in understanding the problem. How could anyone tell you how to fit something into your hitbox code when you haven’t posted any of it?
