Godot 4.1.3 Collision2d set_collision_layer_value()

[pliant trench]

I'm following an old tutorial to learn multiple Godot systems at once, but they were using Collision2D's set_collision_layer_bit(). That doesn't appear to exist anymore and it recommended I use set_collision_layer_value() but I'm unsure which value to use. Each layer has 3 different numbers associated with it.

That's the documentation I'm seeing in the editor for CollisionObject2D. So you should be able to do something like
object.set_collision_layer_value(1,true)

Where "1" is what layer you want to enable/disable, and "true" being whether you want it enabled or disabled

So just a random example would be obj.set_collision_layer_value(5,false) instead of the layer's value attribute?

I'm pretty sure you have to use the value. So 16 if you want to turn on layer 5. Try it out in your code and check the values of the Remote using the inspector.

Actually. i dont know

try both of them and check the values in the inspector at runtime

Is that the debugger behind the game popup?

Nvm i know what you mean, i didnt know that updated in real time with the scene running

here is a link to a video example I gave someone else not too long ago

5 Appears to work from a visual examination (in game), 16 doesn't appear to work at all and neither updates the inspector when running the game

I'm sure 16 does something, because you're supposed to be able to use values between 1 & 32
