Question
Basically, when I aim my character’s gun, I want the arm sprite to flip horizontally when it passes the half way line (so imagine a vertical line through the center of a circle).
Code
sprite is the actual character sprite
gun is the spite for the arm and gun, the one that rotates
pivot is the pivot that is placed on the character (sprite)'s shoulder that the gun rotates around
extends CharacterBody2D
var direction: Vector2 = Vector2.ZERO
var gun_aim: Vector2 = Vector2.ZERO
var last_direction: Vector2 = Vector2.RIGHT
var is_rolling: bool = false
var can_flip: bool = true
@export var speed: int = 75
@onready var anim_player = $AnimationPlayer
@onready var sprite = $Sprite2D
@onready var pivot = $"Shoulder Pivot"
@onready var gun = $Gun
func _process(delta):
if Input.is_action_pressed("p1attackA"):
anim_player.play("cowboyAim")
speed = 0
can_flip = false
gun_aim = Input.get_vector("p1aimLeft", "p1aimRight", "p1aimUp", "p1aimDown").normalized()
if gun_aim.length() > 0:
if sprite.flip_h:
var angle = atan2(-gun_aim.y, -gun_aim. x)
pivot.rotation = angle
else:
var angle = atan2(gun_aim.y, gun_aim.x)
pivot.rotation = angle
else:
pivot.rotation = 0
if Input.is_action_just_released("p1attackA"):
speed = 75
can_flip = true
func _physics_process(delta):
velocity = direction * speed
move_and_slide()
