Turning Around To Look at the Player (SOLVED)

Wicked Batwingz- He has the simplest mechanic out of every character in the game. He will stand in one place, turning around to watch the player wherever they are. He will never move from this place, and will kill you on contact.

I am having issues with programming this character for Pixeltail. I want him to look like he is turning around to face you, but I cannot get it too look natural. Either I can get him to use his up and down animations, but not his left and right, and vice-versa.

Any suggestions?

What you could do is choose whether to look left/right or up/down based on how far the player is from each of these axis. Create a Boolean attribute and call it "horizontal* or something like that then in the when updating do this code.

Set horizontal to <(absolute value of ((x of self)-(Alex x)))>(absolute value of ((y of self)-(Alex y))>

If it's true then face horizontally and otherwise face vertically

Thanks Letmethink! I will try this tomorrow and see if WBW works as intended.

Thanks Letmethink! This issue is solved now and Wicked Batwingz functions exactly as I imagined.
