It should work. 

Or:

when  clicked
forever
if 
key 
left arrow ▼
 pressed?
change x by 
-1

Here's what I usually use:

when  clicked
forever
if 
key 
left arrow ▼
 pressed?
 and 
abs ▼
 of 
x velocity
 < 
10
change 
x velocity ▼
 by 
-0.85
if 
key 
right arrow ▼
 pressed?
 and 
abs ▼
 of 
x velocity
 < 
10
change 
x velocity ▼
 by 
0.85
set 
x velocity ▼
 to 
x velocity
 * 
0.89
change x by 
x velocity

Why do people overcomplicate themselves with x/y velocities?

Well, they're smoother, and once you get used to them, they aren't too complicated...

But yes, the most basic moving left would be

move 
negative number
 steps

or

change x by 
negative number

Instead of

set x to 
x velocity

did you mean

change x by 
x velocity

Also, I believe it could be simplified to

when  clicked
set 
XVelocity ▼
 to 
0
forever
if 
abs ▼
 of 
XVelocity
 < 
10
if 
key 
left arrow ▼
 pressed?
change 
XVelocity ▼
 by 
-1
if 
key 
right arrow ▼
 pressed?
change 
XVelocity ▼
 by 
1
set 
XVelocity ▼
 to 
XVelocity
 * 
0.9
change x by 
XVelocity

Actually you dont need to use "abs" to limit the velocity. The "set velocity to" part of the script will limit the velocity itself.

when  clicked
set 
XVelocity ▼
 to 
0
forever
if 
key 
left arrow ▼
 pressed?
change 
XVelocity ▼
 by 
-1
if

set

change x by

However, the "abs" portion of the script prevents the player from actively increasing their velocity over a value, much like

if 
set 
XVelocity ▼
 to 
10
if 
set 
XVelocity ▼
 to 
-10

which is fine and well, except that the "abs" script is shorter and passively allows the player to be "flung" at faster than the maximum speed.
Anyways, if it needs no limit, your script is more efficient. ^^
