In this scrip I have a panel going right. I want to flip it so it goes left?
Code:

         local e = Main.CEPanel1
         e.Left = e.Left + 1
         if e.Left > (Main.Width + e.Width) then
         e.Left = 0 - e.Width
         end


So the panel is supposed to come back in from the opposite side
but I dont know how to achieve it.

You will never learn how to code by asking something this simple without first trying to understand it at all. I strongly encourage you to experiment and google if you want to get better.

There are literally THREE lines of logic in this code.
One, two, three.

Changing one thing at a time produces drastically different results and teaches you how it works by observation.

Ask yourself:
What does e.Left represent?
Why did the original programmer need a Main.Width and e.Width?
What is accomplished through the compare and set of e.Left?
How can I accomplish the inverse of these?

Experiment:
What happens if I change a 1 to a 2 or 5?
What happens if I change a (+) to a (-)?

I have never done anything with CEPanels before, so no guarantees:

Code:

         local e = Main.CEPanel1
         e.Left = e.Left - 1
         if e.Left < 0 - e.Width then
         e.Left = (Main.Width + e.Width)
         end

Sorry and thank you
