Flipping kinematic body left and right in 2d platformer game

CProrammer

So I am making platformer game and I have KinematicBody2D as a root node of my heroe. Kinematic body is impossible to flip_h because property will always reset after move and slide function, if I move only collision shape and sprite inside kinematic body I dont get result I like, how can I handle that problem?

No, you never want to flip the physics object. You flip the sprite inside.

Okay I get the point, but now how I synchronize rotated sprite to collision shape and other hitboxes? When I flip all of them it does not look like it should. I know I can also put everything what I want to rotate in one node2D and rotate node2D but it is not possible in my case.

it should be possible to redefine the location of the sprites 'origin' point that it pivots around so that it's exactly at the middle of the sprite, then flipping should happen as you need it to. At least in theory. You haven't shown us exactly how it happens for you and/or what you want/expect to happen.

You can try setting the kinematic body scale x to -1. I think that should work.
