Attack Area 2D not working

Xrayleader

Hello again, sorry for the generic title, but i could not find a similar subject in this forum.
I'm having difficulties with the Area 2Ds i'm using for damage function. WIthin the player and enemy scenes i've added the Area 2D and it's respective Collisionshape and programmed the player node's Area 2D to enable with the press of a button and disable after some frames. That part it's working, the area 2D appears and dissapears.
I've created a reusable script to use for every Area 2D of this kind and attached it, connected signals via code and implemented their respective "On area connected" and "On body connected", i try to even spam the attack button.....and nothing happens

Here's the Area2d code:

extends  Area2D

var OriginID = 0
var Damage = 0

func _ready():
	body_entered.connect(_on_body_entered)
	area_entered.connect(_on_area_entered)

func _setDamageValues(ParentOriginID,ParentDamage):
	OriginID = ParentOriginID
	Damage = ParentDamage
	
	
func _on_body_entered(body:Node2D):
	print("Works")
	
func _on_area_entered(area:Node2D):
	print("Works")

UPDATE: ........Welp, i found out what was happening:
I was focusing on the Area2D code only, when what was happening......is that i did not enable the CollisionShape itself

I didn't show it there, due to wanting to not disclose everything on my code on the get go (Sorry), but i have a Player node that uses that Area2D, and what i did was basically

$DamageArea.disabled == false

Instead of

$DamageArea.disabled = false

== equals comparison
= equals value asigning

In any case, thank you guys, and i mean it in a non-sarcastic way :]

Xrayleader $DamageArea.disabled == false

I wonder why that doesn't trigger this warning:
Project Settings / General / Debug / GDScript / Standalone Expression

DaveTheCoder Welp, it did highlight the expression even though i didn't knew what it meant at the time
