_xscale is having problems

[GMR516]

OK, so I'm making this game, and I have it so that the player flips when you press different directions. It works fine, but when I resize it, (I want to make it bigger) It gets messed up and squished/streched. So, my question is, how would I make the _xscale my CURRENT size, and not it's original.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

if(
blah blah blah;
){
 _xScale* (-1);
blah
}

Very poorly worded, but I think I can see what you are saying.
So like for each of your directions, left/right, you have a line simmilar to:

whatever._xscale = 100;
//or
whatever._xscale = -100;

But you are scaling it up at some point before this so that you can have a bigger sprite.
so you want to swap directions relative to the current _xscale.
do just multiply it by -1 to swap directions.

whatever._xscale = whatever._xscale * -1
