Vector X isn't working as intended

I'm trying to knock back an enemy when it is hit by the player. I've been doing this by giving the enemy the platform behavior, and setting the vector X to Self.X+/-50. these are in two different events. If the enemy X is greater than the player X, it is +50, if it is less then the player X, it is -50. But for some reason even when the enemy X is lower than the player X, the enemy will still go to the right.

Why is this happening, and how can I fix it so that the enemy goes away from the player?

You want to make sure you have the X-vector is lasting longer than 1 tick. It is also affected by accel and decel rate.

I do a minor knock back to my character here and a larger one to the enemy.

My enemy has 1500 Accel and Decel and 280 Jump Str.

Sorry if I seem stupid, but I don't entirely understand. I've tried implementing a few of the things you did into the events I have, but the enemy still acts as if it is adding to the vector X when I am to the right of it.

Nevermind, I'm dumb, I managed to make it work. Thank you so much for your help :)
