In this video, we set up basic Collision Shapes in Godot. We'll also cover how variables in GD Scripts can be made available to use in Inspector when editing instances of Scenes. Finally, we wrap up with a quick demo of Godot's YSort node that can automatically draw Top Down scenes in the correct camera order for a Top Down game.
