New to construct need help with few things?

HELLO GUYS IM NEW TO CONSTRUCT AND HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS

WHEN I PUSH THE ATTACK BUTTON WHILE MOVING MY CHARACTER ATTACKS BUT SLIDES AROUND HOW CAN I GET HIM TO STOP MOVING WHEN AN ATTACK BUTTON IS PRESSED?

HOW CAN I MAKEE MY CHARACTER RUN LIKE THEY DO IN FIGHTING GAMES (LEFT LEFT (HOLD))

THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!! I LIKE THIS PROGRAM IM REALLY EEXCITED sorry for the caps

First step is too ease up on those caps.

Second step:

On your ValPlayer object in the 8-Direction settings, untick the use default controls option.

Then you can make the events for your movement control and add any conditions into them. Something like:

On 'left arrow' is down

&

Animation "punch1" is not playing

&

Animation "punch2" is not playing - 'ValPlayer' Simulate control left

On 'right arrow' is down

&

Animation "punch1" is not playing

&

Animation "punch2" is not playing - 'ValPlayer' Simulate control right
