Im not sure how to make it such that the projectiles shoot towards the player, so far i’ve been using the “follow sprite” function.  
Help will be **appreciated**

You could refer to this post I found. It is for shooting 3 projectiles, but it’s pretty easily customizable to just one. [How to make enemy projectiles shoot in the direction of the player?](https://forum.makecode.com/t/how-to-make-enemy-projectiles-shoot-in-the-direction-of-the-player/30087)

You could use this for the enemy or the projectile. [Tilemap Path Finding ( a\* ) (beta)](https://forum.makecode.com/t/tilemap-path-finding-a-beta/1846)

For the velocity x and y, I used the function that the follow sprite block uses, but now it doesn’t update so it stays in the same direction 😃
