[Resolved] Flip Graphics in Game

[ShadowSaber]

One more question,

I want to know how to flip character graphic in game

THanks ~

Actually, the easiest way would be to just get a charset with the graphics flipped, then use an event to change the graphic.

it's the easiest method but... what should i say...

I wanted to do it with a script to reduce graphics needed

I want to use it for all event in certain map,
to create flipped version on each graphics will increase a lot of size

If you have light coming from a specific angle simply mirroring the graphic may not look right.
Consider if this is the case for the character graphics you want flipped because you'd get a better result spriting the flipped character to reflect the light.

class Scene_Map
  attr_accessor :spriteset
end

class Spriteset_Map
  attr_accessor :character_sprites
end

module ShadowSaber
  
  def self.flip
    $scene.spriteset.character_sprites.each {|chr| chr.angle += 180 }
  end
end

Just use the script call "ShadowSaber.flip"

This is about as down and dirty as it gets. With a couple more minutes, it could actually be scripted properly...

Isn't that rotation by 180 and not flipping? Under flipping I'd understand a horizontal or a vertical flip. There's always Sprite#mirror that can be set to true in that case.

[ForeverZer0]

Yeah, but as far as mirroring goes on character sprite, its basically just the sprite facing the opposite direction. I kind of assumed he meant vertically.
ShadowSaber?

a true vertical flip would rotate 180 AND mirror it

oooooh, and the shit just got deeper....
