Question about Area2D

APP811

In my game, the player moves around and stays inside certain areas that are instanced and lined up. The player is supposed to receive a message when they leave the area. The only problem is that I can't find away to avoid the message from being triggered when they move along from one instance to the next. Is there a way to stop the trigger when the player immediately enters another? Or is there a way to trigger an exit of a group?

If I understand you correctly, I had a similar problem when making a ladder where the enter and exit triggers would fire off every time the player moved over the seam between two ladder-parts. I found this video where he implements a little hack which worked for me. He is also doing a ladder (vine) and counts the number of 'vines' the player has entered and exited, and only execute what should happen if 'vines' are the correct amount. Perhaps it solves your problem.

It starts at 13:45 (timestamps in videos doesn't seem to work)
