Flipping the actor

by Will O-Reagan · in Torque X Platformer Kit · 07/25/2007 (6:54 pm) · 3 replies

This may seem a bit random, but I can't seem to flipX on the actor. I've been messing with it for 45 minutes or so, and I can't figure out why it doesnt seem to be flipping. If it makes a difference, I'm using the PuppetComponent, and a blank scene object. Nothing seems to be working(even setting it in the editor)

Thanks

ok, It turns out i need to have more then one frame in my animation for it to know it needs to flip. problem solved..

That sounds like a bug. I'll look into it.

Sorry to raise this from the dead, but I spent hours and hours dealing with this on a single frame animation and adding one more frame cleared everything up.

So thank you, thank you, thank you!

I can confirm this bug is still around. I'm just glad I found this post, this has been bothering me for quite a while now.
