Help!

I'm new to this and I've spent days trying to get the animated sprite (not actually animated - but showing the sprite facing 4 different directions) to display the correct animation/image depending on what direction it is moving.

I've tried the 8-direction Tutorial - didn't work without the key pressing (which I don't want since it is not player-controlled)

Tried between angles - couldn't get it to work

Tried compare to angle - couldn't get it to work.

What am I doing wrong?

The sprite for the animation (MR) is in a container with, and pinned to the randomly moving sprite (PlayerMR). The MR has 4 different animations: left, right, up, down.

Help!

I guess.. just add the corresponding "Set Animation" action right after the action that makes it move?

Tried that too, with no success. I'm assuming I have some wrong setting somewhere. And I've been at this so long I've got a real messy script and no brain left (not that I had much to begin with :o)

Can anyone help me get this working?

I wan the MR sprite to face up, down, left or right depending on whether the randomly moving PlayerMR sprite (both sprites are contained and pinned together) is moving up or down, or a left angle or right angle.
