is_on_floor not registering

[slow saddle]

It's what the title says: is_on_floor is simply not registering at all. It's a mistake on my part, probably in the node tree somewhere, The code just came with CharacterBody2d and i wanted to try it out

[gilded ingot]

did you change the up direction?

[slow saddle]

No, i don't now how to do that

[slow saddle]

The code you see is all the code there is, I haven't tampered with the project settings at all

[gilded ingot]

How do you know it's not working?

[slow saddle]

It falls through. I also linked it to a print statement. The character falls onto a perfectly vertical side of an Area2D (with collision that fits the shape, trust me i double checked) and just keeps falling. Didnt trigger print statement linked to is_on_floor

[gilded ingot]

don't use area2d for collision

they only detect bodies, not stop them

use staticbody or rigidbody

[slow saddle]

Thanks, imma try that

[slow saddle]

That's it, used staticbody and it wprked like a charm. Sorry for sucking😅 And thanks for the help

[gilded ingot]

Haha don't worry

Think of Areas like the sensors for automatic doors. They detect, but don't actually stop anything.

The doors themselves would be Rigid Bodies. And the walls and floors Static Bodies (because they don't move).
