How to flip sprites?

IvyEcho

Hello, I want to be able to flip a sprite so that it's facing the other way, but not upside-down, if that makes any sense. If anyone knows a way to do this, please help. Regards, IvyEcho.

No wait never mind I figured it out. Whoops, sorry.

Well, there are two ways to do this, so maybe you only found one of them. If you found both, don't bother reading this. Sorry for an unnecessary message!

If you haven't found both ways, I'll list them both:
1. In the costume editor, when you select the cursor tool, you will be presented with an option to flip horizontally. In bitmap mode, this flips the entire costume around and can move something from the left to the right and vice versa, but in vector mode, it flips each object around horizontally while keeping the object in place.
2. There is a block under motion which sets the rotation style: left-right (which is the default option), all around (which your sprite defaults to) or don't rotate. Using left-right acts like bitmap, flipping the sprite horizontally and moving the costume's position. However, this does not affect the sprite's x and y position.
Hope this helps!

No need to necropost to thank people though. All it does is bump someone currently needing help from the top page of the forum.

Here is the code way visually:

set rotation style [don't rotate v]
turn cw (180) degrees

Don't rotate will block any flipping so that's not exactly much help. Please try to avoid necroposting but also make sure what you post makes sense.

It was just a mistake, and if you were to read what they wrote you would realise what they meant:

set rotation style [left-right]
turn cw (180) degrees

Hey folks, thanks for helping out! However, this thread appears to be pretty old. Before responding to a topic, please make sure it's recent and the original poster still needs an answer. Thanks!
