Godot Path2D and PathFollow2D Tutorial | Bonus: Ysort Solution

In this Godot Path2D tutorial, I will teach you how to make an enemy or object follow a path2D with help of a PathFollow2D. This will allow you to make patrol paths in Godot! As a bonus, I teach you a solution for an often encountered problem when adding the objects and enemies to a map with Ysorting.

In your games you don't want your enemies to stand still. You want them to feel dynamic, not static. One easy first step is to let enemies patrol certain regions of your game world. You can do that with Godot Path2D and PathFollow2D nodes. These nodes allow you to define a path which your enemies can patrol. In just 4 lines of code, you can make the enemy follow that path2D. As a bonus I teach you a patrol people often encounter with Path2D and PathFollow2D when they use it in combination with Ysorting nodes on their maps. I teach you how to use the remoteTransform2D, quick and easy so that your enemies are drawn in the draw order that you want!
