You have not provided any information about how movement direction is defined in your code. Whatever it is though, use it to determine whether image_xscale should have the value 1 (often means looking right) or -1 (looking left). By setting this instance variable to 1 or -1, the sprite will be drawn either as drawn in the sprite editor, or mirrored.

We need to see your code. Also this is incredibly basic, just set sprite_index to the sprite you want to use on your keyboard events. Tutorials being out dated shouldn't really affect this. It's still the same code as even a project as old as GM 5 (if not GM1 DND).
