SFML/C++ Sprite Disappearing After Certain Point - c++

Question

int main() {
sf::RenderWindow window;
sf::Vector2i centerWindow((sf::VideoMode::getDesktopMode().width / 2) - 445, (sf::VideoMode::getDesktopMode().height / 2) - 480);
window.create(sf::VideoMode(900, 900), "SFML Game", sf::Style::Titlebar | sf::Style::Close);
window.setPosition(centerWindow);
window.setKeyRepeatEnabled(true);
sf::Texture wallTxture;
sf::Sprite wall;
if (!wallTxture.loadFromFile("wall.png")) {
std::cerr << "Error\n";
}
wall.setTexture(wallTxture);
//Gravity Vars:
int groundHeight = 750;
bool isJumping = false;
//Movement Vars:
bool goingRight = false;
bool goingLeft = false;
//Set View Mode:
sf::View followPlayer;
followPlayer.reset(sf::FloatRect(0, 0, window.getSize().x, window.getSize().y));
Player player("newPlayer.png");
player.setPos({ 800, 800 });
sf::Vector2f position(window.getSize().x / 2, window.getSize().y / 2);
//Main Loop:
while (window.isOpen()) {
const float moveSpeed = 0.1;
sf::Event Event;
if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Up)) {
isJumping = true;
//Handle Movement While Jumping:
if (goingLeft == true) {
player.move({ -moveSpeed, -moveSpeed });
}
else if (goingRight == true) {
player.move({ moveSpeed, -moveSpeed });
}
else {
player.move({ 0, -moveSpeed });
}
}
else if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Down)) {
player.move({ 0, moveSpeed });
}
else if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Left)) {
player.move({ -moveSpeed, 0 });
goingLeft = true;
player.flipX('l');
}
else if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Right)) {
player.move({ moveSpeed, 0 });
goingRight = true;
player.flipX('r');
}
//Event Loop:
while (window.pollEvent(Event)) {
switch (Event.type) {
case sf::Event::Closed:
window.close();
case sf::Event::KeyReleased:
if (Event.key.code == sf::Keyboard::Up) {
isJumping = false;
}
else if (Event.key.code == sf::Keyboard::Left) {
goingLeft = false;
}
else if (Event.key.code == sf::Keyboard::Right) {
goingRight = false;
}
}
}
if (player.getX() > window.getSize().x) {
position.x = player.getX();
}
else {
position.x = window.getSize().x;
}
//If player is in air and not jumping:
if (player.getY() < groundHeight && isJumping == false) {
player.move({ 0, moveSpeed });
}
followPlayer.setCenter(position);
window.clear();
window.setView(followPlayer);
window.draw(wall);
player.drawTo(window);
window.display();
}
}
this is my code. What I am trying to do is create a 2D platformer sidescroller. Everything works, except when the sprite goes past a certain point it'll just disappear. This also happens when I jump and move through the air at the same time. I cannot figure out why this is happening, any help would be greatly appreciated :)

I fixed the problem by just getting rid of my flipX function, and instead just creating a new sprite facing a different direction, then changing it everytime the user is facing a new direction
