Hello. I was trying to make a walking animation of my sprite of sora from kingdom hearts chain of memories, but i just cant get it to work. What i am trying to do is to have the sprite change costumes and move if i am holding down the left key, but when i let the key go i want it to go back to the first costume. If anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated. Thanks smile

I believe this is what you are looking for.

when gf clicked
forever
switch to costume [Idle v]
if <key [right arrow v] pressed>
point in direction (90 v)
repeat until <not <key [right arrow v] pressed>>
change x by (WalkSpeed)//WalkSpeed = How fast character moves
wait (WalkWait) secs //WalkWait = How long delay between costumes is
next costume
if <(costume #) > (LastWalkCostume)>
switch to costume [Walk1 v]
end
end
if <key [left arrow v] pressed>
point in direction (-90 v)
repeat until <not <key [left arrow v] pressed>>
change x by ((WalkSpeed) * (-1))
wait (WalkWait) secs
switch to costume ((costume #) - (1))
if <(costume #) > (LastWalkCostume)>
switch to costume [Walk1 v]
end
end

For this to work, you need to set the sprite to only point horizontally. To do this, look to the left of the direction-testing area in the sprite area. You will see three options, select the middle one, or the two-arrowed option.
Hope this is what you needed. smile

This is the simplest way I know of to do this:

Here's the normal script for moving:

when gf clicked
forever
   if <key [left arrow v] pressed?>
      switch to costume [moving left 1 v]
      wait [0.5] secs
      put the "wait" in if you have any more costumes in your walking animation
      put the other costumes where these blocks are and put a wait in between each one
   end  
   if <key [right arrow v] pressed?>
      switch to costume [moving right 1 v]
      do the same as above only with your right moving animations
   end
end

Ok here's the other script you need for this (they both go in the same sprite):

when gf clicked
forever
   if (not ((key [left arrow v]) or (key [right arrow v])))
      switch to costume [idle position v]
   end
end

Sorry about the orange bit...
The second script is more important, the first script you can do anything you want with (so long as it still works XD).
Anyways hope I helped! big_smile
