Question 2d Character doesn't flip after adding a animator

Hello, (sorry, if my English is bad I'm German)
I started learning unity and programming a few days ago. I followed the Brackeys 2d game tutorials but now I'm stuck. When I add a animator the player is facing right when I move right and also when I move left. Before I added the animator everything was working fine.
The only difference I made to Brackeys game is that I used the built in animation function and Brackeys is using a sprite animation and I used the same code.

script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class playermovement : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     public CharacterController2D controller;
8.     public Animator animator;
9.    
10.     public float runSpeed = 40f;
11.  
12.     float horizontalMove = 0f;
13.     bool jump = false;
14.     bool crouch = false;
15.  
16.  
17.    
18.     // Update is called once per frame
19.     void Update()
20.     {
21.  
22.         horizontalMove = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * runSpeed;
23.  
24.         animator.SetFloat("speed", Mathf.Abs(horizontalMove));
25.  
26.  
27.         if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
28.         {
29.             jump = true;
30.         }
31.  
32.         if (Input.GetButtonDown("crouch"))
33.         {
34.             crouch = true;
35.         } else if (Input.GetButtonUp("crouch"))
36.         {
37.             crouch = false;
38.         }
39.     }
40.  
41.  
42.     void FixedUpdate ()
43.  
44.     {
45.         // Move our Character
46.         controller.Move(horizontalMove * Time.fixedDeltaTime, crouch, jump);
47.         jump = false;
48.     }
49. }

 

Moin Lennart,

you have to flip your character. You can do that in different ways, here is one:

Create a bool

Code (CSharp):

1. private bool isFacingRight = true;
2.  

In Update, after you get youre horizontal move

Code (CSharp):

1. if ((horizontalMove < 0f && isFacingRight) || (horizontalMove > 0f && !isFacingRight))
2. {
3. isFacingRight = !isFacingRight;
4. transform.Rotate(0.0f, 180.0f, 0.0f);
5. }

 

Thank you it finally works!
