Hi all,

I have this game realised recently on Snap called Fruit Frenzy, and I would love to make it playable on Snap camera during the calls. The problem is when in Snap camera the lens is mirrored which makes sense for the movement but doesn't make sense for the text and score number.

I would like to be able to flip horizontally only text but I can't find an option to do it? Is there any good solution for that?

Thanks a lot.

Hey Jerzy,

If your text is a Text Texture (created in resources) and use it as the texture for an Image Object, you could use a script to flip the image component whenever it detects it is running on Mac or PC.
```
//@input Component.Image image

if(global.deviceInfoSystem.getOS() == OS.MacOS || global.deviceInfoSystem.getOS() == OS.Windows){
script.image.flipX = true;
}
```
You can use a similar script to with that check to rotate the transform of your 3D objects.

Cheers,
Vincent

Hi Vincent, My mistake I should be more specific my text is dynamic. It's for the game score.

That's the score I need to flip (actually on this photo is a correct mobile version of it).
