On one of my recent projects I used abs of block that worked when it the sprite faced 90 degrees when I tried to move it negative 90 degrees it didn't work I switched the order and even tried negative numbers

I'm unclear what you're trying to achieve.

?

Hi TECH_TRASH,

abs (short for “absolute value”) takes a number and tells you how big the number is, without caring whether it's a negative number.

So abs (7) = 7.
and abs (-7) = 7.

It basically just strips off negative signs.

If you're looking to take a variable and make it the opposite (turn positive into negative, and negative into positive) the easiest way is:

or

Is that what you're looking for?

This really helped my project thanks

Is there a block that can switch both a positive to a negative and a negative to a positive?

That is the “abs of ()” block, but try not to Necropost on old posts. Thanks!
