Switch facing left to facing right without mirror

I would like to be able to switch from left to right animations (and vice versa) without using mirror in code sheet but still retaining the Platform behavior.

I have different sets for animations and would like to use them instead of just mirroring 1 set.

I have managed to work the running animations by introducing a global variable that once a direction is pressed becomes active and through that I trigger the appropriate animation, but I am having a problem with the idle animation facing direction.

Thanks for the help.

Something like this should work:

Give your sprite an instance variable..

on left arrow pressed - set instance variable direction to "left"

on right arrow pressed - set instance variable direction to "right"

sprite compare variable is "left"

• set animation to "idle left"

etcetera..

Awesome! Thanks man!!

Hmm, now Im having problems when pushing both left and right arrow simultaneously, the animation freezes and does not respond and I end up with a still frame that is sliding...
