Question

In my peggle clone I am trying to make a reload system in it and I have seen a lot of tutorials, all of them kind of work but teleports the rigid body to the position and back to its previous position at every frame and I am not sure why?

this is the code for setting its position:

func _on_area_2d_area_entered(_area: Area2D) -> void:
	set_physics_process(false)
	self.set_global_position(Vector2(0, -200))

Grateful for any advice.

What you have not shown us is the code that’s resetting its position every frame. You need to find it, or show us more code so that we can help you find it.

Here is the rest of the code for the ball:

extends RigidBody2D
	
func _ready() -> void:
	freeze = true

func _input(_event: InputEvent) -> void:
	if Input.is_action_pressed("Aim"):
		linear_velocity = (self.position - -get_global_mouse_position()) * 2.5
		
func _on_area_2d_area_entered(_area: Area2D) -> void:
	set_physics_process(false)
	self.set_global_position(Vector2(0, -200))

And what’s the code look like for when the ball is created?

I have a video if that helps it might explain it better.

Ah, try this:

extends RigidBody2D
	
func _ready() -> void:
	freeze = true

func _input(_event: InputEvent) -> void:
	if Input.is_action_pressed("Aim"):
		freeze = false
		linear_velocity = (self.position - -get_global_mouse_position()) * 2.5
		
func _on_area_2d_area_entered(_area: Area2D) -> void:
	freeze = true
	self.set_global_position(Vector2(0, -200))
