Here's a simple way of doing it. This can be compressed even more, but this way is easier to understand the idea. Do note you need to start the xvelocity at some point.

Code: Select all

switch(dir)
{
    case 0:
    if(x>player.x+100)
    {
        dir=1;
        xvelocity=-5;
    }
    break;

    case 1:
    if(x<player.x-100)
    {
        dir=0;
        xvelocity=5;
    }
    break;
}

Shooting can be done with an infinite real timer on create, or a variable timer in draw.
