How do I flip my sprite but also the CollishionShape2d and the Node2d as a bullet spawn point?

Here is my code:

if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right") and Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"):
	motion.x = 0
elif Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right"):
	motion.x = SPEED * delta
	sprite_node.set_flip_h(false)
elif Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"):
	motion.x = -SPEED * delta
	sprite_node.set_flip_h(true)
else: motion.x = lerp (motion.x,0,0.75)

I have also tried

Are you trying to flip horizontally or vertically?

You can try

self.rotation_degrees = 180

to flip the entire Node (and its childrens)

This makes the player upside down

Oops, yes you are right. Dont know then

Maybe I’m late.

To flip any node horizontally, set the scale property to Vector2(-1, 1)
Vertically: Vector2(1, -1)

Example: I want to flip my sprite and collisionShape2D horizontally:

var flip = Vector2(-1,1)
$<sprite_name>.scale = flip
$<collisionShape2D_name>.scale = flip

If you use a scale for scaling objects then you’d have to set the value relatively I guess

Altought this won’t work for Node2D, for that you’d have to instance that Node2D as a child inside another Node2D using it as an anchor, then flip the parent (anchor)

SIMPLE AND QUICKER SOLUTION: If you want to stay outta all those trouble you can just flip the whole player node instead.
