I’ve created a demo for you, hope this helps: GitHub - zhyrin0/godot-2D-navigation-for-qa

Updated the project with an important comment.

Hello!

Thank you for a sample! I’ve been playing around with your sample for movement on the x axis.

I made a few changes to the script and was able to convert the movement to be on the x axis like below, but I imagine there is a better way than setting the enemies self as the target.

What would be an efficient way for an enemy to move back and forth on the x axis instead of targeting the player?

extends CharacterBody2D


@export var target: Node2D
@export var speed: float
@onready var agent := $NavigationAgent2D as NavigationAgent2D

var moving = false

func _ready() -> void:
	pass


func _physics_process(_delta: float) -> void:
	var direction = to_local(agent.get_next_path_position()).normalized()
	velocity = direction * speed
	if moving:
		target.move_local_x(1)


func _on_timer_timeout() -> void:
	moving = !moving

You could place two Marker2Ds in your scene, each denoting the end of a path the enemy has to patrol. NavigationAgent2D has signals for when it finished/reached target, in a callback to one of those signals you can figure out which marker has been reached, and set the other marker as the new target.
