Hi! I wanted to make a naruto style fighting game and I need help! If I am left of the enemy I want to look right And If I am right of him I want to look left(so I have my eyes on target) I have both animations for left and right but I could not figure it out. I tried using the angle from the sprite utils extension! Help pls! Thx > **[Naruto The Fight](https://arcade.makecode.com/28052-63569-15429-63287)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

> [@DahbixLP](#): > > I have both animations for left and right but I could not figure it out. I tried using the angle from the sprite utils extension! Help pls! My first post was just to point out that you can have an animation for not moving and facing a particular direction. This post demonstrates that the player faces the enemy after it finishes moving: > **[Naruto The Fight (now facing enemy)](https://arcade.makecode.com/77378-67795-15021-73968)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

You had the character animations in the game update method. The game update runs continuously, but you only need to register the character animations once. I also changed ‘Animation Naruto Still’ to ‘Animation Naruto Still R’ and used this when ‘not moving’ and ‘facing right’; and vice versa. > **[Naruto The Fight](https://arcade.makecode.com/41137-74604-00513-04414)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

Already fixed! I used 2 sprites left and right of the enemy to detect! ---

There’s an extension that helps with this. > **[riknoll/character-animations](https://github.com/riknoll/character-animations)** > > Contribute to riknoll/character-animations development by creating an account on GitHub. This extension helps with animations. It let’s you set specific animations based on which direction you want your sprite to go. ---
