Mirror/flip an anim through Spriter?

[. . .]

Hello, I need some help !

So...is it possible to mirror/fip an animation through Spriter? Like I made an animation, but realized I want it to face the opposite way..would I have to redo the entire thing from scratch all over again ?

If your anim isn't too complex, maybe adding a - sign before the x-scale could revert the direction of the object. Depending of the anim it could be enough, but i doubt it...

Dang, I tried that & it wasn't in the center anymore when I did that... Does that mean there's no other way to flip it?

I'm thinking of ways to do it but I think most of them would just break the animation, perhaps u could upload this .scml file and the related images so i could try?

Well, basically it's actually just the death anim I'm trying to flip then I can play it alongside the wakeup anim for a "stun" anim without having to create one from scratch.

Here it is, it's the one called "collapse", I tried putting - at the x part, but it would get a little weird-ish so I don't know what to do, so I really appreciate your assistance man !

And thanks for your reply/help Aquaterion !!

The Animation is a bit too complicated to be able to manually fix. However maybe you could possibly make the player X scale -1 ingame while he/she is collapsing?

Do you maybe know how I would do that ?

I remembered seeing your collapse stategraph in another post so I just added to it:

local collapse = State {
	name = "collapse",
	tags = { "busy", "pausepredict", "nomorph", "collapsed" },
	onenter = function(inst)
		--inst.Physics:Stop()
		local sX, sY, sZ = inst.Transform:GetScale()--1. Get current scale
		inst.Transform:SetScale(-sX, sY, sZ)--2. flip the X axis
		inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("death")  
			
		if not inst:HasTag("mime") then
			inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound((inst.talker_path_override or "dontstarve/characters/")..(inst.soundsname or inst.prefab).."/death_voice")
		end
		if inst.components.playercontroller ~= nil then
			inst.components.playercontroller:RemotePausePrediction()
		end
	end,
	timeline =
	{
		TimeEvent(45 * FRAMES, function(inst)
			local rotat = inst.Transform:GetRotation() + pi
			if rotat > pi and rotat <= pi*2 then
				print(tostring(rotat).." left")
				inst.Transform:SetRotation(-pi/2)
			else
				print(tostring(rotat).." right")
				inst.Transform:SetRotation(pi/2)
			end
			local sX, sY, sZ = inst.Transform:GetScale()--3. Get current scale
			inst.Transform:SetScale(-sX, sY, sZ)--4. reflip the X axis
			inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("wakeup")
		end),		
		TimeEvent(55 * FRAMES, function(inst)
			inst.sg:RemoveStateTag("busy")
			inst.sg:RemoveStateTag("collapsed")
		end),
	},
	events =
	{
		EventHandler("animover", function(inst)
			if inst.AnimState:AnimDone() then
				inst.sg:GoToState("idle")
			end
		end),
	},
}

It seems like nothing different really happened, at least from what I can notice 

Thanks for your help though Aquaterion !

Edit: Maybe it's cause I'm using a newer collapse state?  ...though they're practically the same, so probably not 

Spoiler

local pi = GLOBAL.PI
local degrees = GLOBAL.DEGREES
local collapse = State {
	name = "collapse",
	tags = { "busy", "pausepredict", "nomorph", "collapsed" },
	onenter = function(inst)
		inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("death")
		
		if not inst:HasTag("mime") then
			inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound((inst.talker_path_override or "dontstarve/characters/")..(inst.soundsname or inst.prefab).."/death_voice")
		end
		
		if inst.components.playercontroller ~= nil then
			inst.components.playercontroller:RemotePausePrediction()
		end
	end,
	
	timeline =
	{
		TimeEvent(45 * FRAMES, function(inst)
			local rotat = inst.Transform:GetRotation() + pi
			if rotat > pi and rotat <= pi*2 then
				print(tostring(rotat).." left")
				inst.Transform:SetRotation(-pi/2)
			else
				print(tostring(rotat).." right")
				inst.Transform:SetRotation(pi/2)
			end
			inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("wakeup")
		end),
		
		TimeEvent(55 * FRAMES, function(inst)
			inst.sg:RemoveStateTag("busy")
			inst.sg:RemoveStateTag("collapsed")
		end),
	},
	
	events =
	{
		EventHandler("animover", function(inst)
			if inst.AnimState:AnimDone() then
				inst.sg:GoToState("idle")
			end
		end),
	},
}
local function SGWilsonPostInit(sg)
    sg.states["collapse"] = collapse
end
AddStategraphState("SGwilson", collapse)
AddStategraphPostInit("wilson", SGWilsonPostInit)

So, I'm guessing this is impossible to achieve, right...?

Not one i'm aware of, but maybe you could do a general search about spriter itself on google and see if you find something. Because the program isn't used only for don't starve so maybe you'll find more outside
