shmup - enemies appearing on screen

VanBandama

Hi! I'm currently working on little shmup project. I already watched Callum Knott's video on YT on how to make shmup (1h long). And now I'm stuck. I made long corridor filled with enemies appearing from top like asteroids in video. But I want to make my enemies to appear sometimes from behind player or both sides.

How to code it? Placing enemies outside the screen doesn't work ;(

What happens when you place enemies outside the screen?

They doesn't show up when I want them. Previously I worked with Game Maker: Studio and there was an option to draw a path for sprites to follow. Is there similar option in Godot?
