Why is my collision not interracting?

Question

My problem:

When the player character (red godot logo) collides with another Godot logo, it must print something in the output console. But the problem is, nothing is happening... I don't understand why.

Area2D Body-Enters event/signal code:

extends Area2D

func _ready():
    print("Area2D ready")
    pass

func _on_Area2D_body_enter( body ):
    print("yo! Interacting!") #<-- this code is not getting executed when colliding

Answer 1

You need to connect signal area_enter. It detects intersections with areas that have collision shape (as their direct child).

body_enter detects collision with PhysicsBodies that have collision shape.
