How do I Create a character

I want to create a rpg character but when i place the 8 direction and hit play ... the character isnt moving

8 direction should enable a sprite to move immediately with keypad.

If you want to use ASWD you might want to add keyboard object.

i tryed but its not moving at all

can you post a .capx so we can check it and find the issue?

also you should make your way through the beginner tutorials https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/top

and the manual https://www.scirra.com/manual/1/construct-2
