Hi,

I have some sprites with the bullet behaviour and set angle of motion to random (360 degrees). Set angle is unticked. When they move they always face right; how do I get them to face left when moving to theleft?

Hi, in the conditions of your objects, you can check if they are in between two angles, then you can set if they must be mirrored or not :

If between 90° and 270° : Set mirrored

Else : Set not mirrored

Edit : since you're not using Set Angle here is a similar solution, use the System Condition "Is Between Two Values" and compare your object behavior angle of motion the same way I explained in the above example

Thanks Tomycase,

I went with the Set Angle version as it was easier. I might be doing something wrong here but I found Set Flipped worked better than Set Mirrored. It almost works now except the sprites are displayed upside down when moving right and I can't work out how to fix this.
