Basic arrow key movement
Here you can make a sprite move with the arrow keys.
Here is the script.
You need to make a variable called "Speed" and you can change that to change the speed of the sprite. Don't set it to below 0, the arrow keys will be backwards. And don't set it to 0, or the sprite will not move.

Re: Some basic scripts
Instead of (join [-](speed) ) do ( (speed) * (-1) ).

Velocity
Velocity will speed up the character after the arrow keys being held down. The script looks like this.

What if it is already negative? Then it is something like --3, which isn't anything.

I read the post, but it is still better the other way.
