Toggle Colliders? (like visibility - affect all children)

Sim

As I've been learning Godot, I noticed that toggling visibility doesn't disable the colliders of children as it does in Unity. Does anyone know if there is a way to toggle the colliders of all child objects without having to disable them one by one? I would like to disable/hide a node completely.

If all else fails, I can disable them through code, but I feel like I'm overlooking a simple feature in Godot. I tried searching, but couldn't find the answer.

You can use remove_child() and later add_child() to bring them back. They will remain in memory and basically be in a paused state (so no change to their variables or anything).

That's good to know. Thank you for the suggestion. Much appreciated :)

Hi, sorry if my opinion is wrong, I am a complete noob, but I suspect the get_tree().call_group() function can do what OP wanted if you first assign a group for them before using them in your scene, but I am not sure, hope veteran like cybereality could shade some light on this.

Wait a minute, you already said "If all else fails, I can disable them through code", so please disregard what I just said LOL

While I did say I could disable them via code, I am still very new to Godot. So hearing different approaches to tackling this via code is still very appreciated. Thank you :)
