Basic enemy AI Movement for top-down space shooter?

Hello,
I want to make a space ship enemy that flies around in 2D world orientation. How to control the area of where it hovers or make a line of path that the space ship can follow?
I believe it's really simple to do.
Thanks!

Hi,
use something like Curvy, it has playmaker support:

A very interesting tool. Might consider to get it someday.
Just curious, what if I want to implement it using PM (the basic simplest one)? What things to note in order to achieve it?
Thanks!

A free simple spline tool is out on github:https://github.com/SebLague/Path-Creator
I made some playmaker actions for it for basic use cases:

Maybe you could program your own spline in playmaker??? But it wouldnt be recommended.

Whoa, it might be taking me forever to program it right away.
Thanks for mentioning the tool. I will use it when in urgent/no other way around. Starting to think about using coordinate to determine the path for now.
