How do I make a Platformer "pushed back" upon collision ?

Say I have a Platformer running towards an object, upon collision, I want the platformer to be "pushed back" as though the enemy called him to "back off".

Setting the Vector X seems to not do the trick...not even when I set it to 10000000000000000.

How do I make the object bounded back horizontally ?

This is what I have so far, it is not working

I typed in lots of zeros in my frustration that the platformer is not even moving horizontally away at all.

If your player is moving right when it collides then perhaps you need a negative vector x value? Failing that, my technique would be to give it LiteTween behavior and just temporarily disable platform behavior while he moves backwards using a tween effect. When the tween finishes, then enable platform behavior again...

Thank you Colludium, I hint your advise and used LiteTween, it works PERFECTLY.

Wow, that VectorX thingy is USELESS.

The Vector Y works though, but Vector X is Utterly USELESS with or without ignoring user input.

I will never touch Vector X for Platformer again.

I tried to work within the Platform's position placement feature because I don't want an external behavior that is not part of the Platform to affect positional movement to avoid glitches, seems like the internal Platform's vector X is a let down.

Seems like you have to increase the max speed a lot to make Vector X work and give a proper "push".

And I'll throw in this example I found somewhere on this board:

on collision with enemy

set vectorX: (self.X-enemy.x)/Abs(self.X-enemy.X)*1000000

this works from both left and right of the enemy and "pushes" you back in the opposite direction.
