Collectable Coin

UnknownUser

I apologize in advance as I'm new to Godot and game engines in general. I am trying to code a Coin that can be picked up by the player, however I'm struggling to do so. The Player and Coin are opposite scenes. The cCoin is an Area2D and the Player is a KinematicBody2D

Welcome to the forums @EmperorPigeon!

There are several ways to handle coin pickups in Godot and other game engines, but I generally use something like this:

Coin script:

Extends Area2D

func _ready():
	connect("on_body_entered", self, "_on_body_entered")

func _on_body_entered(other):
	if (other.has_method("add_coin")):
		other.add_coin()
		queue_free()

Player script:

Extends KinematicBody2D
var coins = 0

# Other code here...

func add_coin():
	coins += 1
