So, I am making a side to side space shooter with freeplay and levels system, I have a set number of enemy’s spawn but I want them to follow mysprite with a vy that is less than their vx, though I cant quite get it to work, any ideas?

To follow the player horizontally and vertically, but say that the vy is less than the vx so that it is slower on the way down than side to side. I found it hard because you cant control those variables with the |set follow | block
