Greetings!
I'm new with Godot, I literally finished the 2D tutorial from the documentation.
I'm now trying to create a simple top down shooter with tilemaps. But right at the begining I got stuck at collisions.
I've created my player with a simple player movement script and then added a free tilemap.
I made sure my player has a colisionShape2D and also creted a physics layer for the tilemap. Then I paited the physics layer in the tiles and I was expecting colisions but it is now working. Anyone could help?

Introduction: Godot offers several collision objects to provide both collision detection and response. Trying to decide which one to use for your project can be confusing. You can avoid problems an...

I would also recommend picking a tutorial series on YouTube that is creating a game over multiple parts with a genre close to yours to see how to use godot in practice.

There are so many basics to learn and if you just jump into your first project after doing the official tutorial you are gonna get stuck constantly
