Collision understanding problem

Noisefever

Hello!

I'm new here and I'm new to Godot. I am trying to make a small platform game and unfortunately I have some understanding problems. I figured out so far that I should use the Kinematic2D object for the characters, right? But they seem all solid by default and I find no possibility to make them unsolid. I only want that they can't go through obstacles like the floor. But I don't want that the characters are solid among themselves. BUT they should collide! Of course I want to get notified if the hero collides to the enemies. It seems not possible to to that. Either the collide solid or they collide not at all.

What is the correct way to do that? Thank you!

Is somebody here? Ok, I think I solved it myself. But it would be nice to know if my solution is really right the way to go.

Object structure: +Kinematic2D +....Sprite +....CollisionShape2D +....Area2D +........CollisionShape2D

Then I used the Kindematic2D layers and mask for colliding to floor and walls and the Area2D for enemy contact. It took me a while to realize that Godot is not limited to ONE collision shape and type as other engines are. So I assume this solution is the intended way to handle this. Correct?

Correct!
