I have spent hours working on this simple anim and can't seem to get it right.
Imagine a sentry at X100 on your screen, he turns to his left(30 frames), walks to the right (30frames repeated) until he reaches X500, Turns to his right (30 frames) and marches to the left,(30 frames repeated)until he reaches X100, then repeats itself.
Sounds straight forward, but when I Code "if x>500" to get it to turn at that point, the rest wont work because X needs to be >500 and I cant find any other way of commanding it to turn at that point. I am using images I created in Poser so it would not be much help if I sent the Code.

Im not sure if this would work (or if this is what you are looking for) but how about creating a sprite at x500 and then if it collides with that the get it to turn.

Just my 2 cents,

It took me a couple of monthes to sort this one and make it accurate.
The problem was "Stopping the sprite at each end" So I could run the "Turn around animation" without it sliding.
And the other was getting it to continue, once it had done one run.
I did use Code monkey's sugestion, with "Collision" by putting a hidden wall sprite at each end and through trial and error over six Weeks, it is finaly done.
I now have a precious piece of code to use for other purposes.
This was done for DBC
Sprites are in .JPG format. Convert to BMP. Before using.
If I've made a mess of getting the Graphics to you, Sorry O.W.

The names of the files are slightly different to those in the code so could you change before using, sorry.
