Give each body in my game a group?

SuperMatCat24

Is there a way to, for example:

Give everything a group
Make the group as something such as: Block, Enemy, Player, Projectile
Check for the group when checking colisions on an area2d

Thanks

Any Node can be placed in one or more groups. That can be done using the Inspector Node pane, or using the method add_to_group().

When a collision is detected, you can check if the colliding area or body is in a group using the is_in_group() method.
