Hi! I feel like I’m missing an obvious solution, but I can’t figure it out…

I have multiple helicopter sprites following a path using the [A\* extension] ([https://github.com/jwunderl/arcade-tilemap-a-star](https://github.com/jwunderl/arcade-tilemap-a-star)). I want to add animation onto the sprites so that when the helicopter’s path takes them to the left, the sprite image changes to a helicopter flying to the left. When their path takes them to the right, the image automatically changes to a helicopter flying to the right.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
