Thank you for your quick reply

I should have mentioned that my test is not top down. With your solution the enemy was facing the player as i wanted, but when the player moved on enemy's back, the enemy followed but upside down.

(i hope that makes sense )

I appreciate any help!

Thank you

so you are making a platformer? again there are several solutions for this.

one way would be to compare the x coordinate of the player with the x coordinate of the enemy and then set a animation frame according to it. you can also work with the "flipped" action

i think i cant be of much more help here maybe a professional can tell us the most efficent solution?

Thank you for your help jOschi

I will try to experiment with your advise.
