My sprite is teleporting when I change my scale to -1 to flip it

Question

A bit new to this so I'm not sure if this is a dumb question, but whenever I transform my localScale from 1 to -1 or vice versa, it does flip the sprite like I want but it also causes my sprite to teleport over in the x direction that I'm flipping towards, causing a very unnatural movement that I do not like. Is there some way to prevent this from happening?

Hi @rbrazee2004 , This issue is because of the pivot of your sprite. By changing the scale to-1 you are flipping the Sprite around the pivot. But your pivot is Not in the middle of your graphic and so ist flipps incorrectly.

Here is how to change the pivot. Hope it helps. Regards from Germany
