Big noob on godot and dev in general, so sorry for my abysmal incompetence. https://i.stack.imgur.com/BEa7y.jpg
I'm trying to do something that looks fairly simple (which I'm learning to be never true in gamedev) Grab an object (In that case a "connector" like a USB male), and when I get that object to a "zone" (an "input" USB female): the object would snap to that zone and be released from the mouse. The way I tried to do it, is by creating an area2D on the input, with a collision shape (fig1). Then, I sent a "body_entered(body:Node2D) signal from this area to the "Connector" node. (fig2)
On the connector script, under "func _on_area_2D_body_entered(body)" I just tried different things, but it never seemed to do anything. So I tried to add a "print('hello')" to see if the "collision" was happening at all. But nothing prints when I grab the connector and get it to the input position.
Is there something wrong with my script or the way I'm sending the signal?
extends Node2D
var selected = false
var rest_point
var input_pos
func _on_area_2d_input_event(_viewport, _event, _shape_idx):
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("click"):
selected = true
func _ready():
rest_point = global_position
input_pos = get_node("root/Level/input")
func _physics_process(delta):
if selected:
global_position = lerp(global_position, get_global_mouse_position(), 25*delta)
else:
global_position = lerp(global_position, rest_point, 10*delta)
func _input(event):
if event is InputEventMouseButton:
if event.button_index == MOUSE_BUTTON_LEFT and not event.pressed:
selected = false
func _on_area_2d_body_entered(_body):
#rest_point = input_pos.global_position
print('hello')
I tried to put the name of the specific node I wanted to target entering the area2D putting it like this: func _on_area_2d_body_entered(Connector):
But it didn't change anything.
I'm basically just trying to get a response from the signal right now. It's like the signal is not working.
