Area 2d in child of instantiated scene behaves differently about godot HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey Cosparks. You're right, it seems that I made some mistakes as I was trying to pare this down to an MRP. I've found the real source of the issue in the original project, and it really has nothing to do with what I've detailed here, so I'm closing this out. This was really just user error, so it probably wasn't worth raising an issue over to begin with. Sorry about that :/

I really appreciate the help though.

If you open area_2d_test's main.gd file in the script editor, you will see that your _on_area_2d_area_entered isn't connected to anything (no signal connected symbol). Then, if you look inmain.tscn, you will see that you are attempting to connect a function called _on_static_area_2d_area_entered to StaticArea2D's area_entered signal. If you change this line:

[connection signal="area_entered" from="StaticArea2D" to="." method="_on_static_area_2d_area_entered"]

To this:

[connection signal="area_entered" from="StaticArea2D" to="." method="_on_area_2d_area_entered"]

Then everything will work fine.

For reference, this is the green icon that you should see:

It is not there in area_2d_test.zip:

I honestly recommend just connecting signals through code so you don't run into problems like this.
