Why doesn't my collision detection between two Area2D objects in Godot 4 work?

TL;DR

I've followed steps from a tutorial on how to set up collision detection between two Area2D objects. It's not working and I can't figure out why.

Hi everyone

I'd like to detect collisions between a circle and a floor.

I have set them up as follows:

The script runs fine (it's just a circle falling towards the floor), but nothing happens when the two objects collide.

Does anyone know what I've done wrong?Thanks

Yes, (1) following a tutorial blindly without thinking and (2) giving up before you have tried to find the problem.

Before you add the 'if body.is_in_group' code you should test to see if the '_on_body_entered' event is firing.
