How to let the character keep the facing direction when moving up or down?

Lawfish

I use WASD to control movements. I set 2 facing directions and 4 movement orientations, and the frame flipping setting was "right mirrors left". When l press W or S to move up or down, my character always plays the walking-left animation, which is not what l want. I would like my character to play walking-right animation when moving up or down if he was already facing to the right, vice versa. How to achieve this?

It's tricky. I'll need to give it some thought - but I will update this shortly when I have something.

Thank you!

It should be possible with the aid of this custom script, attached to the character:

using UnityEngine;
using AC;

public class ForceLeftRight : MonoBehaviour
{

    bool isLeft;

    void Update()
    {
        AC.Char character = GetComponent<AC.Char> ();
        float angle = character.GetSpriteAngle ();
        if (angle > 1f && angle < 179f)
        {
            isLeft = true;
        }
        else if (angle > 181f && angle < 359f)
        {
            isLeft = false;
        }
        character.SetSpriteDirection (isLeft ? CharDirection.Left : CharDirection.Right);
    }

}

It works fine. Thank you sooooo much, Chris!
