I am trying to make a shield that only works on one side of the sprite but when he gets hit from the other side he takes damage

this gives us no context
only thing i can say to help is that you could just make an object the follows the players position but adds some to the x to block projectiles

Use the emitter to emit a [optionally movable] shield object. You can look at Gamougg 3’s shield function for reference.
Emit is can’t be used because he wants it to be a constant shield, what Galactian said is probably best (Until Attached objects can be solid)

I’ve done emit constant shield before but I forgot which game (I know it was recent though). You will need Messages and Mailboxes however.
Constantly emitting something is kinda finicky compared to actually spawning it

It only emits once and then gets automatically destroyed when you let go of the key
destroyers like that lag flowlab (same with emitting that much)

Oh
Highly skilled Gamougg player here. In Taile Gamougg, the shields are emitted yes. However, they expire almost immediately and are only meant for a quick burst of defense.

just because you do something some way doesn’t mean it’s the optimal way to do it. emitting and destroying an object every frame causes a lot of lag which i’ve proven in many particle systems.

It emits once
then it won’t follow the player

It doesn’t follow the player its a quick emit and expire

You could attach a shield to the player (with the Attach behavior) then when a something has a collision with the shield destroy it

attacher blocks dont have collision. JR01 explained why in a meme he made

Right forgot because they can still be detected with proximity. A spawned object slight displayed is still the best method then

This is my game. I want it so that the level 2 blue guy doesn’t die to the laser when facing right but does when he faces left.
