shooting ray at right direction

Hi,

i want to shoot a ray in the direction my 2d player (with 3d collider) is facing
So the facing of the sprite changes x=1 / x=-1 if i press left/right

i want to say if Scale X = 1 then shoot ray left
and if Scale X = -1 then shoot the ray right

i can shoot the ray but can't handle the facing.

Code (CSharp):

1.     private void Update()
2.     {
3.  
4.         if (transform.localScale.x= 1)  //<here i don't know how to type it correct. The rest seems to work.
5.             {
6.         Ray ray = new Ray (transform.position, -transform.right);
7.         Debug.DrawRay (ray.origin, ray.direction, Color.red);
8.             }
9.         else
10.  
11.         {
12.             Ray ray = new Ray (transform.position, transform.right);
13.             Debug.DrawRay (ray.origin, ray.direction, Color.blue);
14.         }
15.  
16.     }
17. }

 

Code (CSharp):

1. if (transform.localScale.x == 1)// == sign checks if one value is equal to the other. = sign assigns value on the right of it to variable on its left.
2.         {
3.             Ray ray = new Ray(transform.position, -transform.right);
4.             Debug.DrawRay(ray.origin, ray.direction, Color.red);
5.         }
6.         else
7.  
8.         {
9.             Ray ray = new Ray(transform.position, transform.right);
10.             Debug.DrawRay(ray.origin, ray.direction, Color.blue);
11.         }
