How to make character only move left and right using mouse to move movement?

My code is working however I would like the characterbode2D to move only in two directions



@onready var avg_speed : float = 200.0
@onready var inc_speed : float = 350.0
@onready var run_distance : float = 200.0


func _physics_process(delta):
	if global_position.distance_to(get_global_mouse_position()) < 10: return
	
func _process(delta):
	var cursor_pos: Vector2 = get_viewport().get_mouse_position()
	var distance_to_cursor: float = position.distance_to(cursor_pos)
	
	

	var speed : float =  avg_speed if distance_to_cursor < run_distance else inc_speed


	# Cursor moves left and right
	if distance_to_cursor > 1:
		var direction : Vector2 = (get_global_mouse_position() - global_position).normalized()
		velocity = direction * speed
	# if cursor is far away from Angel, Angel speeds up
	else: 
		velocity = Vector2.ZERO
	
	move_and_slide()
2

just set “velocity.y = 0” before move_and_slide

3

Or just set velocity.x rather than velocity

4

Or change this

var direction : Vector2 = (get_global_mouse_position() - global_position).normalized()

To this

var direction : Vector2 = (get_global_mouse_position().x - global_position.x,0).normalized()
