Question Making my second character face to the left at scene start

Hello,
This might be really basic, and I might be missing something that's just under my nose.
So, I have a two player 2d game where I want both characters to start the round with faces directed at each other (1st player facing right, 2nd facing left).

In my sprite-sheet (this is a frame animation via animator component) I've made both players facing to the RIGHT.

Right now both of them start facing to the right when the scene is loaded, and I need the 2nd player to be facing to the left.

this is my current super basic Flip() func:

Code (CSharp):

1. private void Flip()
2.     {
3.         if (rb.velocity.x < 0 && isFacingRight)
4.         {
5.             isFacingRight = !isFacingRight;
6.             transform.Rotate(0, -180, 0);
7.         }
8.  
9.         if (rb.velocity.x > 0 && !isFacingRight)
10.         {
11.             isFacingRight = !isFacingRight;
12.             transform.Rotate(0, -180, 0);
13.         }
14.     }

where isFacingRight is a private bool.

I've tried like 4-5 different approaches. And This seems like a very basic problem. I really want to avoid flipping all my sprites to face to the left and then re-make all the animations.

Am I missing something really basic?
Thanks in Advance

 

Simplify the above code:

- use the velocity being less or greater than zero to blindly set the isFacingRight flag

- use isFacingRight to either set the rotation to (0,0,0) or (0,180,0)

- set the isFacingRight appropriately in the editor for each character (or at spawn time)

That's it.

EDIT: you may wish to ask if velocity is less than -0.1f or greater than +0.1f rather than zero

 

Hi,
Thank You much for taking the time and helping me. This is solved!
