RigidBody2D with Tilemap's StaticBody2D collision

TomLaPomme

Hi everyone !

First i'm french and i'm sorry for bad english.

I'm verry new on Godot and it's seem that I've some difficulties to understand collision system for RigidBody2D. Here a picture of my work :

I want a script to print "goal" in the console when Ball, a RigidBody2D, collide with Goal, a StaticBody2D which is a tile of the tilemap. When I use print(get_colliding_bodies()) it's return an empty list.... So I try to write a script to Ball object to check collision with body_enter(body) function and print goal everytime it's touch the goal. But I don't know how to have only goal's tile ID. I'm just able to have Tilemap ID and don't know how to call an object without refering to his ID. I have try another methods that doesn't seems to work too : - write a script into the tilemap scene (for goal object) with is_colliding() function but nothing append. - create a Goal object (StaticBody2D) not as tile but a normal object add to the World scene. But I can't check collision between static object and rigid2d

Have you got any method to do this ?

I would recommend using an area2D. You can use them like triggers, using their body_enter and area_enter signals. Here's a link to the documentation on area2D and here's an example image that shows the general idea, taken from this reddit post.

I'm unsure on how else to go about it, since I've really only used Area2Ds. I think you cannot use Area2Ds in a tilemap, though I've never tried so I cannot really say for sure. I remember reading somewhere you can get the tile you collided with in a tilemap using a KineticBody2D, but I forget where I saw it.
