Alternative controls for 8-way animated character

I made the Keyboard event into "Or" blocks and added WASD and IJKL controls, but when I tested it out, the player doesn't move.

Hey nickkname

I made a new event with simulated controls. My character goes to new animation frames - when I press W for Up, he becomes the WalkUp frame - but I can't move my character.

So I made the simulated controls a subevent under the keyboard controls, but my character could neither change frames or move.

Make sure the object's properties, the "Default Controls" is set to "NO"

I set default controls to No. I tried the alternative controls again - new keyboard events instead of subevents. My character moves, but doesn't change animation frames.

//Example 1//

Key Down "Up" >

Simulate Up

Set Animation to "up"

//Example 2//

Key Down "Up" >

Simulate up

Set direction "up"

if direction="up">

Set animation "up"

If that doesn't work then you have something wrong and need to post a CAPX for us to see what exactly is messing up

That worked, thanks everyone :)
