here are two possible ways.

1. Using a game level attribute:
   Set a game level attribute, indicating the direction the spawner is traveling.
   Then spawn the new actor. This actor then checks the game level attribute to see which direction it should travel in.

2. Passing the value:
   You can also pass the direction by setting the rotation in the spawn behavior. Set rotation to 0 for right, 180 for left.
   Let the spawned actor then read this value, allowing you to set its direction of travel.
   Straight after, correct the spawned actor's rotation by setting it to 0 again.

@notatoto , attached is a project showing both ways. Hope it helps.

I suggest you read up on game level attributes and self attributes in the manuals to get a good understanding of how and why to use each.
