Question by CutterTheCoder · Dec 22, 2015 at 07:43 PM · transformspritescalediffuse

Sprites and Shaders : problem with lighting

I have attached a material(sprite/diffuse) and it works if i keep facing the right (transform.local scale positive 1) but when i start running left I will flip the local scale to negative 1 once i flip the sprite will turn black and if i turn back to facing right the shader stays black within light Here is the Flipping Script

 void Flip()
 {
     facingRight = !facingRight;
     Vector2 theScale = transform.localScale;
     if(facingRight)
     {
         theScale.x = 1;
     }
     if(!facingRight)
     {
         theScale.x = -1;
     }
     
     transform.localScale = theScale;
 }

To Go more Indepth with the problem if i physically change the transform scale in the inspector to -1 the shader will still work but the second I hit the movement to go left the shader turns black, any advice?

I've been struggling with this problem for a bit. Luckily I found the problem rather quickly. Make sure to scale the sprite with Vector3 and set the z-value to 1. My problem was that I was scaling with Vector2 and that sets the z-value to 0.

Exactly this was my problem too, fixing the Z value of the scale worked for me!

Thanks!
