Godot 4 hitbox/hurtbox tutorial solves common pitfalls
A developer published a Godot 4 tutorial that cleanly separates hitboxes and hurtboxes using Area2D and collision layers. It covers team-based damage, invincibility frames, and knockback, while fixing the overlapping-on-activate bug. The approach uses collision_layer for identity and collision_mask for detection, avoiding stray collisions.
Meridian48 take
The tutorial addresses a real pain point for indie devs, but its value is limited to Godot users already comfortable with basic game logic.
