As the title says I'm puzzled why the animation wont play for me. There have been a few other posts about it but they either don't apply to my situation or I'm just too dumb to realize they do.
Basically, I have this slime character, he can face in eight directions, up, down, left, right and the diagonals.
I'm trying to play a movement animation for when he is facing a specific direction but the animation won't play with my current code, though surprisingly it will play when the character is still for some reason.
I'm hoping someone with more experience can tell me what to do to get it to play when the character moves.
