push backwards on collision

Hi guys!
I am making a platformer and I stuck with this problem.
How do i make an enemy push/bounce the player backwards on collision?

To assist you, one needs to know your starting point and your desired destination quite precisely.

1. Are you using the non-physics platform movement (hint: don't), the physics platform movement, or something else?

2. Do you mean a gentle shove or a forceful knock-back?

Right now I can only suggest experimenting with adjusting the X coordinate of your player object, and checking whether the enemy is to the left or right by comparing X coordinates for the two objects.

Thanks for your reply!

1. It's physics platform movement
2. I meant shove back

Problem solved.

Enemy is running towards Player randomly from left/right

On collision
if Player X axis position > Enemy X axis position
ADD 100 (or any number you like) to Player X axis position
SUBTRACT 20 from Player Y axis position

On collision
if Player X axis position < Enemy X axis position
SUBTRACT 100 (or any number you like) from Player X axis position
SUBTRACT 20 from Player Y axis position

nice solution! I know when you use an 8 movement direction you can select bounce.
