Forums » Impact Engine » Documentation Suggestion: Flipping Sprites

Hi Dominic,

It took me a few minutes of inspecting the entity in my debugger to figure out that if I want to flip the current animation horizontally in an entity I need to do:

this.currentAnim.flip.x = true;

The property is mentioned in the Animation Class Reference:

http://impactjs.com/documentation/class-reference/animation

But what isn't completely clear is that this.currentAnim is an Animation object, thus containing those flip variables I wanted. If you could add a note about this to the .currentAnim portion of the Entity documentation, that would probably save some trouble for a few people.

Thanks!

Thanks for mentioning that! Just fixed it.

I just found this helpful. Flip is not enough, you have to flip currentAnim.
