CollisionShape2D scale() not working?

[Qws]

This is my node hierarchy:

Hierarchy:
RigidBody2D
  Sprite
  CollisionShape2D

I'm trying to scale down the Rigidbody2D node (Flame node):

This is how I'm doing it. Sprite nodes scales down when I scale its parent down, but the Collision node does not.

Which is strange, because , if I do this in the graphical editor, everything scales perfectly fine, including the CollisionShape2D.

So I realise that I can't change CollisionShape2D size with the scale() method.

But how else can I scale a node with a CollisionShape2D?, I tried to to code within the CollisionShape2D node, it doesn't work either. So what can I do to dynamically shrink the Node with a collision?

Someone on IIRC told me to swap with 2 collision, but is that really the only way?

Link to minimal example project (optional but very welcome):

I think is duplicated of #5734

Apart from that, CollisionShape is a helper, wont scale the body's shapes or do anything other than add editor and debug tools.

You will have to scale the shape resources manually (get/set shape) and children (shapes are not children) instead of the body until Godot 3.x changes something on the way shapes are managed.

I basically replaced RigidBody2D with KinematicBody2D. Now it works.

I actually don't see the purpose of RigidBody2D... it's not programmeable in runtime, while the KinematicBody2D is.

Duplicate of #5734 indeed.
