Question

I have a RigidBody2D(item) falling from the top of my screen and when it falls on top of my character, it is captured by _on_body_entered(body): -This is working as expected

If my CharacterBody2D hits the RigidBody2D from its ides(left or right or my CharacterBodt2D) , the collision is not happening as in the _on_body_entered(body) method does not run. Character does not go through the RigidBody2D it does “hit” it and can’t move further but the _on_body_entered(body): is not called on my item.

[ernestofs1]

Yes, that one has been enabled and does register the contact when rigidboddy hits the top of my character but if I touch them from their sides, no event is registered.

Looks like I have to add an area node additional to my collision node I created.
Not sure why but this did the trick…
Just make sure to check in the signal if you are entering a body or an area.

How do i get a falling RigidBody2d to detect a collision from the side?

Attention Topic was automatically imported from the old Question2Answer platform. Asked By sumguy05 I have a RigidBody2d that will detect collision if it falls upon a player but not if a player runs into it even though it acts upon the player’s force. What I mean is a player will run into it and be impeded by the falling RigidBody2d. I connected a signal and use the below code. func _on_snowflake_body_entered(body): if body.get_name() ==…
