Flip Sprite use Mouse Cursor

RaynerHandrian

I tried to flip the Sprite with the cursor position but I got something that I didn't want because now the sprite that I installed this code was rotating, the result I wanted was to just flip it left and right. for a context, I give a video and the code I made

My current code

extends KinematicBody2D

var velocity = Vector2(0,0)
const movementspeed = 800
const playergravity = 40
const jumpforce = -1600

func _physics_process(delta):
	
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ingame_left"):
		velocity.x = -movementspeed
		$AnimatedSprite.play("walk")

		
	elif Input.is_action_pressed("ingame_right"):
		velocity.x = movementspeed
		$AnimatedSprite.play("walk")

		
	else:
		$AnimatedSprite.play("idle")
		
	if not is_on_floor():
		$AnimatedSprite.play("jump")
		
	velocity.y = velocity.y + playergravity

	if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ingame_jump") and is_on_floor():
		velocity.y = jumpforce
	
	velocity = move_and_slide(velocity,Vector2.UP)
	
	velocity.x = lerp(velocity.x,0,1)

	look_at(get_global_mouse_position())
	if get_global_mouse_position() <= self.global_position:
		$AnimatedSprite.flip_v = true
	else:
		$AnimatedSprite.flip_v = false

This line is what is rotating the sprite;

look_at(get_global_mouse_position())

look_at(get_global_mouse_position())

I tried other methods and the result was almost what I expected but now when I move the cursor to the left the sprite turns to the right and when I move the cursor to the right the sprite turns to the left.

	if get_global_mouse_position() <= self.global_position:
		$AnimatedSprite.flip_h = get_local_mouse_position().x > 0
		
	else:
		$AnimatedSprite.flip_h = get_local_mouse_position().x > 180

You just need to change the positions of the two statements that flip it. The else statement should be in the if statement and vice versa.

I corrected my code and almost got the result I wanted, but when I moved my player when I let my cursor in front of the player suddenly the player I was moving flip back against the direction of the cursor

	
	if get_local_mouse_position() >= self.global_position:
		$AnimatedSprite.flip_h = get_local_mouse_position().x > INF
		
	else:
		$AnimatedSprite.flip_h = get_local_mouse_position().x < INF

That code looks really complicated for what you are doing which is just testing if the mouse is in front of the player or behind the player. Right? if get_global_mouse_position().x > self.global position.x: $AnimatedSprite.flip_h = false else: $AnimatedSprite.flip_h = true

It's not formatted, but you get the idea and I don't know which is supposed to be true and false, but that's pretty much all you are doing.

Thank you, it works exactly what I want.

Good to hear. Your game looks pretty cool.

It's just placeholder assets, I'll change it later
