If you need to summon family members all at once straightforward approach would be looping through ObjectType of that family.

Are those local variables not set to static? That will likely makes it couldn't retain it's value and always reset every time condition met.

Try put a sprite or other visible object. The viewport line maybe as thin as thread but it should be there. Otherwise it might be graphical issue within your system.

That's the kind of simple formula I always use when needed something in reverse. Negate and multiply.

Since you made image point for each arm at the center of body the method still relevant and can be applied. Here the modified version:

It will be concise to differentiate the state by checking whether the player in "punch right" or in "punch left" state by put string variable "state" or "punching_state". Flipping mathematically is just negative sprite height.

Sure you can lock direction in 45 degree iteration or compare distance. So if player pick diagonal route then the next valid word queue position must had that same diagonal distance reference, if less it will be ignored. And it goes the same with horizontal or vertical pick.
