Scale sprite horizontally in one direction only

[Emg]

In the editor I can drag and pull the side of a sprite, for example the left side, and the right side will stay as is, with the centre of the sprite changing position. Is there a way to do this in script in game? If I set the x scale i think it scales equally in both directions, keeping the centre position.

The scale is centered around the pivot, you'll need to set that to get it to scale from one end.
