how to make a knockback behavior?

example: my Enemy actor is moving to the direction of my Player-actor using (move to)
then when i shoot the enemy i want it to be knockback a liitle, or push him a little at the back..
then continue to move forward to my Player-actor.
btw im constraining the x and y position of my player-actor

the question is when the bullet collide on my enemy actor, it stop from (moving to) my player-actor and move into different direction.

You would be better off using the,

change attribute self.motion.linear.velocity.x

First change the self.motion.linear.velocity.x to (the speed you want). A negative number will move left and a positive number will move right

Then tell the actor that when it collides with bullet.

For 1 second change attribute self.motion.linear.velocity.x to

-1 *(self.motion.linear.velocity.x)

After 1 second change attribute self.motion.linear.velocity.x to your original velocity.

See if this works.

doesn't work sir @RabidParrot

i need to know the position for y also..
i want to make game like this
but i want the tank to be knockback when it got hit by a bullet
need to trace where the tank is facing.

im gonna put hp on enemy tank so it wont be hit once, and has effect for pushing back for a little when it got hit by a bullet
