Dealing with Asymmetrical Characters

[jrockpsycho]

I have a character with one robotic arm, when I do a standard flip like in the tutorials I'm learning from, it switches arms. I have no problems creating animation art for all of his left facing actions, but how do I apply it in playmaker in a way that works? Obviously he will need idle, walk, run, jump etc. all facing left. What is the best way to go about this? Any help is much appreciated, I am very much a noob.
Thank you

Hi.
Is it a 3rd object or 2d
also is it sprite based?

With 2d we use a parent to handle the movement and have the animation as a child object

[jrockpsycho]

It is 2d. I see, so the animations should be children of the sprite in hierarchy correct?

[djaydino]

Yes,

Then you can rotate / scale the animation when changing direction.

Then things that need to rotate with it, you can set as a child of the sprite.
