2 different sides to a character

[Itsuchi KS]

Hey guys, is there a way that I could have 2 different sides to a character? Like he looks 1 way facing right and another way facing left? For example: Gill from SF3 has a RED and a BLUE side and his Pyrokinesis projectile changes depending on which side he's facing.

with weapon its just better to have character switch hands with weapon in flip animation, i dont remember single game where i would say wow this character is not mirrored he has 2 different sides, even mortal kombat kano didnt bother me that much with his metal plate on both sides when flipped, its not important at all, you need pain animations fall animations , basically all animations cloned not just idle or walk.
It should be easy with script but script sometimes doesnt work too well from frame 0

I was going to use weapon because of his Pyrokinesis move changed depending on the side that's showing. Either fire or ice and I can change it with weapon and set his weapon frame on turn animation

Dude seriously? If he wants the character to have two sides, then that's just what he wants. I'm sorry Itsuchi KS. If I knew how to script you'd have had an answer by now.

I just thought of a cheep method that may or may not work using weapon command. this may load the weapon when facing right and load a different weapon when facing left. no script needed, as a player it seem doable but as an enemy I dont Know. I've combined 2 character before and input a command to switch them. but if i make the command as simple as pressing right or left this would work. the problem is do i have to actually press an action button after i press left or right?, or can I press the direction only.

With a weapon, you don't but I think you have to input a direction and an action button with commands. You can set up a weapon as a heath thing as well like I've done with Makoto. When her heath gets low, she screams and changes stance. Faint changes her to her weapon.
