Hello members of the new sleeker looking forum!

I'd like to implement a feature where by selecting part of a node with the mouse, the selected part will split into a seperate node with its own collision shape and everything. I have no idea how to go about this though. Here's a very quick example of what I mean:

Coding!
GDScrpit, C#, C++ you choose it.

The concept look easy but it's deceptive.

If you're a beginner but know coding, do it all in script.

Otherwise, sorry but try something easier that you can find script to learn from in the Asset Library.
