sprite.mirrorY()

Category:Sprites

Sets the sprite's vertical mirroring.

To mirror the image or animation of a sprite you can either use the Animation tab and create and name each mirror you need, or just use the mirrorX() and mirrorY() commands.

Examples

Flipper

Flip the gnome with left and right clicks.

                            // Flip the gnome with left and right clicks.
var sprite = createSprite(200, 200);
sprite.setAnimation("gnome_1");
function draw() {
  background("white");
  drawSprites();
  if (mouseWentDown("leftButton")) {
    sprite.mirrorX(sprite.mirrorX() * -1);
  }
  if (mouseWentDown("rightButton")) {
    sprite.mirrorY(sprite.mirrorY() * -1);
  }
}
