ANOTHER problem with flipping animations

Arcade Help
#1

So, I already know how to flip animations. (I had help solving this here: Problem with flipping animations)

But I have a lot of animations to flip. Like a LOT LOT. I tried to make a function that would flip any animation that you put into it, and it failed :frowning:

So when the function is called, it also sets the 4 other variables

The animation is an array and the first thing (in this case the animation is called gank spank, I was tired)

The second one is just whatever sprite you want to apply the flipped animation to, and here itā€™s the player

The third one is just the interval at which the animation plays

and the last one is supposed to determine whether the animation is a loop or not

But when I tested the code, it said that it ā€œcannot read properties of undefined (reading iface)ā€

I donā€™t know what iface is or what is undefined. I need help with this, please!

I just use the velocity stuff. Thatā€™s my best bet. I do that to be safe to avoid these super complex situations. (Just a suggestion)

happy birthday drtongue96 :smiley:

but your solution didnā€™t really work, it kind of just has the same problems as my first post about flipping animationsā€¦

It worked. Passed in the animation and it reversed it. What you could do is create a less complicated function to pass in an animation and then in the function itself RETURN the reversed one, then you donā€™t need all those extra parameters.

well for me, it just flipped it everytime the button was pressed

also what does the return function block do? I never got to figuring that out.
