2D character flipping issue

Question

Hello,

When I press a button my character flips the direction I want and all is well as long as I am using the scaling method(Scaling -1 on x axis). But now I want to rotate the character by 180 degrees on the y instead. When I do though the character will flash for a second in the right direction and then face left again and stay left.

So when I press the Move Right Key my character flips for an instant and then flips back to facing left. I can continue to walk right but He will face left.

Here is all the flipping code

 void Update()
         {
             //Flip Direction
             if(horizontal > 0 && !faceRight)
             Flip ();
             else if (horizontal < 0 && faceRight)
             Flip ();
         }
 
         void Flip()
         {
             faceRight = !faceRight;
             transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 180, 0);
             return;
         }

Hey, I found a simple way to flip the 2d character with a simple line:

transform.localEulerAngles = transform.eulerAngles + Vector3(0,180,-2*transform.eulerAngles.z);

I have already done that but it doesn't work with my current set up because I'm using Sprites & Bones package to get the IK functionality. It messes up the bones if you scale so I need to rotate instead but It will not work for me.

Assuming that you're trying to do a mirror image flip, have you considered taking the component of your scale property and multiplying it by -1?

So if I have a sprite which is facing right, I can use transform.localScale = new Vector3(transform.localScale.x, -transform.localScale.y, transform.localScale.z).

If you can choose to do a 180-degree flip on any axis and combine them as well.
