Scratch

Use something like this:

if 
left arrow ▼
 key pressed?
 and 
not 
right arrow ▼
 key pressed?
your script
else
if 
right arrow ▼
 key pressed?
your script

I think it's better to have:

when  clicked
forever
if 
key 
left arrow ▼
 pressed?
your script
if 
key 
right arrow ▼
 pressed?
your script.

That should work a little better. It's also a bit more professional and traditional.

It kind of worked, the only problem is he runs backwards whenever i press the right key then the left one.

Is there some way for you to post all of your movement script or upload your project? That would help a lot.

if 
key 
left arrow ▼
 pressed?
 and 
key 
right arrow ▼
 pressed?
use whatever script you want to make the sprite stand still or do the idle animation, or whatever

That should help with the animation problem.

Oh,and make sure it looks like this:

if 
key 
left arrow ▼
 pressed?
 and 
not
key 
right arrow ▼
 pressed?
move left
if 
key 
right arrow ▼
 pressed?
 and 
not
key 
left arrow ▼
 pressed?
move right
if 
key 
left arrow ▼
 pressed?
 and 
key 
right arrow ▼
 pressed?
don't move and use standstill costume/animation

if 
key 
right arrow ▼
 pressed?
move right
else
if 
key 
left arrow ▼
 pressed?
move left

I think this topic is resolved, anyways.
