Collision shape

When using Area2D, or one of the other collision objects in Godot, it needs to have a shape defined, or it can't detect collisions. A collision shape defines the region that the object occupies and is used to detect overlaps and/or collisions. Shapes are defined by Shape2D, and include rectangles, circles, polygons, and other types of shapes.

For convenience, when you need to add a shape to an area or physics body, you can add a CollisionShape2D as a child. You then select the type of shape you want and you can edit its size in the editor.

Add a CollisionShape2D as a child of Player (make sure you don't add it as a child of the AnimatedSprite). This will allow you to determine the player's hitbox, or the bounds of its collision ...
