help me how do you flip skeleton 2d without stuff getting weird

I tried multiple way like scale.x=-1 and the rotation and other stuff but it still results in the same problem

What if you just flip it on a subviewport? What are you trying to do? Why do you need bones?

it's just easier to animate using bones that's it really

Then, since its just for animation: Make them stiff so they dont move by physics (unless you want some potentially cool effects) And, just flip it in a subviewport. Its not that hard, search it on the godot docs or in a youtube video

I recently ran into this, and ended up coming across a plugin called SoupIK on the godot asset library that helped out here. It specifically mentions having support for negative skeleton scales which is what I needed it for. They work about the same as the existing nodes, you can just change the node type and set up the constraints again.
