How can you detect which way an actor is moving?

I have an actor that has a scarf behind him and I need it to flow accordingly to the way he is moving.

    what kind of directions can your actor move? Is it just left and right? or all directions?

    if self motion linear x is greater then 0 your moving right, if its less then zero your moving left.

    if self motion linear y is greater then 0 your moving up and if its less then zero your moving down.

    You can Easily tell the general Direction an Actor is moving by checking linearvelocity.x and linearvelocty.y

    Positive value for x is moving on the x axis to the right. A negative value means moving to the left

    Positive value for y is moving on the y axis up and a negative value is moving down.

    By knowing that you can tell if an actor is moving in general direction For example If the actor has a positive x and a negative y then you know it is moving at an angle down and to the right.

    Good Luck Hope that helps.
