SOLVED Flipping sprites based on direction while using move_towards_point?

[Ache]

I'm working on enemies for my game and I want something that will move towards the player, so obviously I used move_towards_point. The problem is that I don't know how to flip sprites while using move_towards_point, but I also don't know what other way to make them follow the player.

obj_enemies Create event:

switch(etype)
{
    case 0:
    isboss = false;
    
    //behaviour
    move_towards_point(obj_player.x, obj_player.y, 0.5);
    break;
}

if hp <= 0
{
    instance_destroy();   
}

obj_enemies Step event:

switch(etype)
{
    case 0:
    isboss = false;
    
    //behaviour
    move_towards_point(obj_player.x, obj_player.y, 0.5);
    break;
}

if hp <= 0
{
    instance_destroy();   
}

move_towards_point modifies the built-in movement variables, most notably in this case hspeed and vspeed. You can compare against these to flip the sprite (e.g. update image_xscale according to whether hspeed is positive or negative).
