Face direction of the swing

frank067

I have an actor that swings left and right, How do I make him face to the direction of the swing?

I haven't looked at your project file yet but generally you would have a rule that changes or constrains the image (left-facing or right-facing) based on the velocity of the actor in a certain direction, most likely the X velocity in this case.

I think I got it, but how do I change the actor to display Image upright? It keeps flipping upside down. Can you please take a look at the code, I'll post the final results if you can flip this image upright please.

I checked out the project and I see that that actor is not changing its velocity but rather its rotation.

Try this (the attribute in the screenshot if self.Graphics.Flip Horizontally):

no luck but I got it to work with
for left: Attribute:game.rotation > 45,Attribute:game.rotation<0
Move directon=0
Speed=300
change image

and repeat for right with rotation ,135 & 225
thank you
