This is how I usually do it:

public partial class DamageArea : Area3D
{
    [Export]
    public int Damage { get; private set; }

    public override void _Ready()
    {
        BodyEntered += OnBodyEntered;
    }

    public void OnBodyEntered(Node3D body)
    {
        if (body is Character) // Character is my class that extends CharacterBody3D that has a health component
        {
            GD.Print(body);
            Character character = (Character)body;
            character.Health.TakeDamage(Damage);
        }
    }
}

Wish more 3D devs would move to godot, so that 3D functionality in godot gets more love

the condition is not valid, script is working without that condition. To fix this you need to validate the condition. Hope it helps

Yeah, it's the .godot hidden folder in the project. Sometimes it gets outta sync. You can delete it and it will autoregenerate. Save your work, close the editor, and make a backup of the folder first just in case.

Also, the asset's Category determines whether the asset will be visible in the AssetLib in the Godot Editor.

The category is split into Addons and Projects. In-editor, assets of the Project type (Templates, Demos, Projects) only show up when viewing the AssetLib from the Project Manager, while assets of the Addon type will only be visible from inside a project.

I've submitted two assets to the library. One is in the Addons/Scripts category and is visible in the editor. The other is in the Projects/Demos category and is not visible in the editor. The latter one should probably be in a different category, since it's an addon that includes a demo project.

BriarSMC They are the same, yes. And the search in the editor shows only the ones that are compatible with your engine version whereas the online search by default lists all.

BriarSMC i find frame-by-frame is better when you have something that actually needs to update each frame, like a stamina bar or something that regenerates, when it comes to UI. After that it's all signals and functions unless I need something updated quickly - and when that happens, I usually drop a bool in to execute once so it doesn't hit each frame. (Probably not terribly efficient, but it works.)

In this case, there's probably no practical difference in performance. Keeping unneeded code out of _process is just a general guideline.
