Animating sprite without animator (by flipping X)

Unity Engine
1

I was wondering, is it better to use 2 sprite images (left and right) in animator or to make the single sprite to change the X state every second (constantly). I need it for simple 2D torch animation. :slight_smile:

Also, how can I achieve the X flip option, do I need to write it in code or is there a simple option how to do it via editor?

Thanks!

You want to access flipX and here’s a video that shows how this code would work:
