I want an enemie that will always go in the direction of the player, but i do not know how to input the righ x and y values to go directly twards the player

You could use eases or the example in the help page. Also welcome to the community!

I understand eases and all, but what if i need it to go the same rate of speed no matter the distance, while the player also moves

You can extract the x and y from the player using the extractor and add a point at behavior (attach x and y) then add a timer with whatever delay and make it go forever with a 3 number connecting into a velocity behavior ( forward)
Try this:

The xTarget and yTarget would be inputs for player X and Y.
Basically it uses trigonometry to calculate the needed X and Y velocities.
Btw SWIG copy and paste the code in the grey box into the import
This converts direction into x and y velocity so you can have directional velocity without needing to turn the sprite.
