4 way animation

I think the problem i have is very simple but i searched the forum but couldn't find a solution.

I want to have a different animation playing under each arrow key.

I got this working, but when i hold two arrow keys at the same time the animation freezes. I would also like the idle animation to face the last direction i walked (requires another animation to be made ofcourse).

I have three animations, one for horizontal movement, one for vertical movement and one for idle. I flip the horizontal one.

I just can't figure out the best way of doing this.

Wow! That's incredible. I don't understand the math but i think i understand the other stuff now.

This is just want i was looking for. Very elegant but not too complicated.

Thanks.

The "math" just converts a 0 to 360? range into a 0 to 7 range to select the corresponding animation.
