I have been experimenting using the side scroller template to make a fighting type game.

I cannot figure out how to mirror my character after they jump over an enemy.

Anyone know how to achieve this?

Hi RugarEk,

Just to make sure I’m on the same page, currently when you are in the Side Scroller Example map, the character **turns" left and right and you want the character to instantly flip left and right -correct?

A quick way you can do this is to change the Yaw Speed in the Character Movement Component to 2000 and select User Controller Desired Rotation:

If you want a strictly blueprint solution, I believe the following AnswerHub post provides the answer:
