How do I make Pathfinding move half as fast on the Y axis?

I'm simulating a view that's not 100% top down (for a point and click game), and I'm looking for a way to slow down the Y component of the sprite's speed

Any ideas?

Thank you!

You can compare Player.Pathfinding.MovingAngle, and if it's close to 90 or 270 degrees, decrease the maximum speed. If it's closer to t0 or 180 degrees - increase the max speed.

Thanks dop2000

Your method would allow 45 degree paths to be a lot faster than 90 and 270 degree paths, which feels kinda unrealistic.

For now I'm doing clamp(60*abs(cos(sprite.Pathfinding.MovingAngle)), 30,60)

but I was hoping there would be a less hacky way?

Yes, cos splits the axes of movement to their horizontal and vertical components.

The lerp idea is excellent, thank you so much dop2000!
