Hi!

I have doors in my game that come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Initially, I created a new scene for each door that is different. But I have around 20 doors atm, so had to change tactics. I thought I was being smart by using only one door scene, and then exporting variables for the collision shape, sprite texture, sprite region, coordinate/time values for tweening etc. ALL of these work beautifully, apart from the collision shape.

I tried to make the scenes unique by selecting "Make Local". But this did not work as changing the size of one door affected ALL the others as well. I also tried to tick the checkbox called "Local to Scene" under the CollisionShape2D's Shape property but again this did not work.

@export var x_coordinate : int = 0
@export var y_coordinate : int = 80
@export var time = 0.3
@export var sprite : String = "warning"
@export var sprite_region : Rect2 = Rect2(1040,360,120,40)
@export var collision_shape : Vector2 = Vector2(40, 120)
@export var sprite_rotation = 0

func _ready():
	$Sprite2D.region_rect = sprite_region
	$Sprite2D.rotation = sprite_rotation
	$CollisionShape2D.shape.size = collision_shape

Please let me know what I'm doing wrong, or if there is a different/better way of achieving this, I'm all ears.

Found some help on the discord.

I am now creating the CollisionShape in script and assigning it in the ready function, like so....

var shape : RectangleShape2D = RectangleShape2D.new()

func _ready():
	$CollisionShape2D.shape = shape
	$CollisionShape2D.shape.size = collision_shape

You had many scenes before but I'm unsure what your setup is now. I think the solution might be right-clicking Shape in the inspector and clicking Make Unique, but that depends on your setup. So if that isn't the solution, let us know more about how your scenes are currently.

Edit: you posted your own answer right as I was typing this 👍️
