I have a platformer where a guy has a gun. And you us the mouse to aim. I was wondering I've got all the anamation down except for one, When He walks bakwards (From the way his guns facing) he dose a moon walk. Since I cant' simplely use the flipX i need somthing that plays and anamtion based on the facing of an object.

Can you not just make another animation for backwards walking and use that when your player is in that state?

I can just reverse the anamation, but I can't think of a way to make it play when hes facing the mouse but moving backwards. If you've ever played a game sereis on the internet called Thing Thing thats Kinda what I want to do.

Could you not just compare the sceneWindow2D.getMousePosition() with the guy.getposition() to see which X is bigger?

If you're walking left but the mouse is bigger, you're going backwards... same for if you're walking right but the guy's X is bigger.

Not what you're looking for?
