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  clicked
forever
switch to costume Idle ▼
if key right arrow ▼
 pressed
point in direction 90  ▼
repeat until not key right arrow ▼
 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 ▼
if key left arrow ▼
 pressed
point in direction -90  ▼
repeat until not key left arrow ▼
 pressed
change x by WalkSpeed
 * -1
wait WalkWait
 secs
switch to costume costume #
 - 1
if costume #
 > LastWalkCostume
switch to costume Walk1 ▼

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  clicked
forever
if key left arrow ▼
 pressed?
switch to costume moving left 1 ▼
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
if key right arrow ▼
 pressed?
switch to costume moving right 1 ▼
do the same as above only with your right moving animations

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

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

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
