Monster moving & facing toward Player (4.5.6 - MetroVania)

[retroarcade]

Hi!

I'd like that my Monster moves and faces horizontally toward the player.
Right now when the player jumps over the monster this one follows his initial trajectory, which is quite unrealistic.
I've already two animations (LeftAnimation & RightAnimation) but I think that I have to modify some script.

Could you help me? Would it be possible to use some scripts from the brawler type of game?

Thanks!

Here's my first attempt...
Well, at least the monsters follow the player ;-)

I tried to modify the "MoveTowardsPlayer" script and now the monsters move only horizontally. But sometimes backwards...
