	# Optional: Flip the sprite based on movement direction
	if velocity.x < 0:

Your code seems fine. Whats the problem?

Possibly a problem with detection area position/size? Or signals not connected properly?

Also Godot has a built in function to flip your sprite for you so you could change

	if velocity.x < 0:
		scale.x = -1
	elif velocity.x > 0:
		scale.x = 1

to

if velocity.x < 0:
		$Sprite2D.flip_h = false

elif velocity.x > 0:
		$Sprite2D.flip_h = true

You’ll need to change $Sprite2D to whatever your sprite is called, and possibly swap the true and false around, depending on your sprites orientation.
