Who Walked In?

Part of the Signals and Collisions section of Coddy's Godot journey. Lesson 3 of 27.

The area passes the body that came in to your function. That is the body in _on_body_entered(body). It is the node itself, so you can read anything on it.

body.name is the name of the body that walked in:

func _on_body_entered(body):
	print(body.name)

A plain name is the zone's own name, because the script is on the zone.

Two bodies cross this zone: you, the Player, and an amber Rover that rolls through on its own.

Challenge

Easy

Make the zone say who walked in.

In _on_body_entered(body), change the print() so it prints two values: body.name and " entered the zone".
Put a comma between them.

Press Play: the Console shows Rover entered the zone, then Player entered the zone when you walk in. Then Check.

Try it yourself

extends Area2D

func _ready():
	body_entered.connect(_on_body_entered)

func _on_body_entered(body):
	print("Something entered the zone")
