Question Flipping character's face not working with On click Movement

Hello everyone

I'm trying to learn how to build a simple 2D RPG or a Moba and i'm struggling with Flipping my character Sprite when I move left/right/up/down. I've been learning 2d Side scrollers and apparently the flip function i'm trying to apply on the RPG game i'm building doesn't work per say.

My Code:-

Code (CSharp):

1. public class PlayerMovements : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     [SerializeField] private float speed;
4.     [SerializeField] private bool moving;
5.     [SerializeField] private bool mouseDown;
6.     [SerializeField] private bool facingRight = true;
7.     Vector2 lastClickedPos;
8.    
9.  
10.  
11.     void Start()
12.     {
13.         facingRight = true;
14.     }
15.  
16.    
17.     void Update()
18.     {
19.  
20.         //Move on click
21.         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
22.         {
23.             lastClickedPos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
24.             moving = true;
25.  
26.         }
27.  
28.         if(moving && (Vector2)transform.position != lastClickedPos)
29.         {
30.             float step = speed * Time.deltaTime;
31.             transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, lastClickedPos, step);
32.             Flip();
33.                
34.         }
35.  
36.         else
37.         {
38.             moving = false;
39.         }
40.  
41.         // Hold mouse botton down to move like diablo
42.  
43.         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
44.         {
45.             mouseDown = true;
46.         }
47.         if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
48.         {
49.             mouseDown = false;
50.         }
51.         if (mouseDown)
52.         {
53.             lastClickedPos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
54.             moving = true;
55.         }
56.  
57.         //flipping character face
58.         if (facingRight == false && this.transform.position.x > 0) Flip();
59.         else if (facingRight == true && this.transform.position.x < 0) Flip();
60.  
61.  
62.     }
63.  
64.     private void Flip()
65.     {
66.         facingRight = !facingRight;
67.         Vector3 Scaler = transform.localScale;
68.         Scaler.x *= -1;
69.         transform.localScale = Scaler;
70.  
71.  
72.     }
73.  
74. }

What my code does is flipping the character Sprite only when my position is literally less or greater than 0 which is working perfectly when i use Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"); method and use my keyboard to move the character but when i use mouse movements it waits until it reach position 0 and then flip accordingly.

To make it much more clearer, here is a video :

Could you please help me with this? i'm stuck on it.
Thanks alot..

Instead of scale try local euler angles y = 180 and flip 0 for non flip.

else

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SpriteRenderer-flipX.html

there is a flip switch on your sprite renderer

 

the same problem happened using SpriteRenderer.flipX. My character does not flip its face unless it reached the 0 position.

 

It took me a few months but i fixed it and ill post the full Code incase someone need it someday
