Doc of the Day took me here.

Facing and !Facing.

When coding cinematic supers, I always have trouble when coding facing left vs facing right.
one side will work but the other will not.

What is the proper way to go about handling facing?

Usually for that, you'd make a bit of an equation watching P1 and P2's facing values.
I know I  have this exact question in one of my character's ultras. I just cant remember which one. I'll try to find it.

But for now,
Basically I believe you should be able to just compare whether P1's facing value is greater than P2's.

So something like
Triggerall = Facing > enemy,facing
This will only work if P1 is on the left;    1 > -1
When P1 is on the right the values are  -1 > 1
You should be able to figure something out with that. You could also use target,facing if the check is in the middle of an ultra.

LOL.

Ok so, What I ususally do since i can't figure out the short way of using facing.

I would make multiple codes with triggerall = facing = 1, and triggerall = facing = -1.
it's mostly velsets and possets, but if I can avoid having multiple codes that would be great.

facing will either equal the enemies facing, or it won't

trigger1 = facing = enemy,facing
or
trigger1 = facing != enemy,facing

When using it in controller parameters, you'd want to check it like example:

facing = Cond((facing = enemy,facing),1,-1)
