How would I flip a character thats 3d and its in 2d enviroment? I tried the code you supplied with *-1 in the z too but it just doesnt flip it fully... any fixes?

Edit: nvm found a fix just didnt change the x at all only z, fixed it for me at least.

So far i have worked with it, you have to set the whole scale again by giving it new Vector3 value

ie.

 // flip the x scale
 transform.localScale = new Vector3(transform.localScale.x *-1, transform.localScale.y, transform.localScale.z);

That just keeps flipping the character constantly.

well yes if you put it straight to Update() it will, but you can always add bitflag to check it.

ie.

 private bool flipped = false;
 
 if(transform.localScale.x < 0 && !flipped)
 {
      // flip character code
 }
