Godot 3.5 (GDScript)

Issue

I’m making an interaction system (for example: open doors, disappear objects, etc.) and I want to make as if the character was doing those actions with his hands and for that I’m using an “Area” node to get the object’s methods and so I can do the desired actions, and I’ve found that I don’t know how to use correctly the “Area” node XD.

What i tried

here is the code:

extends Node

onready var interact_label = $"../UI_Debug/E"

onready var _input_node = $"../input_save_node"

func _on_Hands_area_body_entered(body: Node) -> void:
    if body.has_method("interact"):
        interact_label.visible = true
        
        if _input_node.interact_action:
            body.interact()
        
        
    else:
        interact_label.visible = false
    print("a, ", body)
        

I realized that the mistake I am making is that I am using the _on_Hands_area_body_entered(body: Node) signal as if it were a _process(delta) and I also realized that I can’t call the function or assign the variable body to another one, and I wanted to know if there was any other way to make the interactions as if the character was using his hands.
