there are lots of way’s to do this and without knowing how your code is even setup I would say the easiest would simply be to just use transition.

ie: 

transition.to(opponentObject, {time = 1000, x = opponentObject.x - howmuchToMoveHim, onComplete = function() --do something after he finishes his move. end})
