No, I tried that I need help for an enemy to say on a ledge and go back and forth.

2D-Sprite-Box

I'd put in a left block and right block, add the rule when enemy collides with the block change the movement of the enemy, make the blocks either clear with alpha 0 or uncheck visible. If gravity is in the scene, uncheck moveable. Place the blocks on the edge of your ledge.

Im new to game salad so can you please put it in steps please

2D-Sprite-Box

Sure, what I'd do is add an actor, go into the properties, change the size to something small, like 10x10, under color change the alpha to 0, under Physics, uncheck moveable. Make a copy of the actor, name one left and the other right. Place them on the edge of the ledge, left on the right side and right on the left side. Go to your enemy and add a rule-when actor collides with left, add change attribute for movement, change it for moving left. Add another rule for the right.

I have coupled what 2D-Sprite-Box said with iDeveloperz link and it works great.

Try this:

To your enemy actor add "change velocity" - set the direction you want it to go - so if your character is at the left - set direction to right (0 would be right - 180 would point left) add a speed 40 (you can change this to your liking). Set relative to actor.

Now add a timer - set for Every 10 seconds (again, to your liking - the speed and secs will determine how fast it moves and when it turns)

In the timer add a "change attribute".
From the first field (...) select your actor (self) and set it to "self.Motion.Linear Velocity.X".

In the "to:" area do the same but place minus (-) before it (- self.Motion.Linear Velocity.X)

Your guy should now go back and forth at a set pace

EDIT - okay what iDeveloperz said!!
