Animation drawing?

[Surgeon]

Hey!

I've been trying löve for the past few days and I can't seem to find a way to draw an animation inverted in relation to the Yy axis. Do I have to have separate animations for left/right facing character?

Thanks!

Hi!

See love.graphics.draw. If the fifth argument (sx) is negative, it is flipped horizontally, so you can do something like:

Code: Select all

love.graphics.draw(something.image, something.x, something.y, 0, something.dx < 0 and -1 or 1)

Hope that helps.

Also too more things to what robin said. Remember that flipping the image isn't good if let's say you character isn't a symmetrical Image. if you have an sword in right hand flipping/inverting will show sword then in left hand.

Also remember that LOVE don't do image animation as default (like using a GIF). You will need to use some animation library or create a simple one of ours.

In relation to what coffee wrote..
If you have a character which is non symmetrical and is made up of >1 shapes, when it is flipped, the shape, body, fixtures dont flip with the image. Does anyone have a solution to this?
