I am making a boss with my brother in this game Flowlab Game Creator - puzzles and platforms!, but it’s not moving around. I was thinking of it flying around in a crazy 8, as in moving in the path. Can I get any help from this?

Hey @Retroman one way to move in a figure 8/infinity path is to just move the boss object around using a curve parametrization like the ones described here:
I used the lemniscate of Bernoulli (it was the nicer looking one) described there to make a small bundle that you can use in your game to move an object. The example is here:
and the bundle (it’s called Infinity) you can import is here:
