Issue with 8-direction behavior and animations

One of my students is trying to move a tank sprite with 8-direction behavior. He has a different animation for the sprite facing up, down, left, and right (1 frame each). He also plans to create diagonal animations later on. He programmed that when the left key is down, the animation should be set to left. Same for right, up, and down. However, the 8-direction behavior overrides this and the appropriate direction for the tank does not show. How can I fix this? Thanks for your help!

Hello KearnsTeacher regarding 8-direction overriding your animations. It is because of the 8-Direction "Set Angle Property" is enabled in the Properties Bar of the Tank Sprite. To fix this you must change the Set Angle to No

In The Properties Bar

Tank Sprite

----8 Direction Behavior---

Set Angle --> No

Here is the Properties Tab -- This is what's causing the animations angle to change. To prevent your issue, Set Angle to "No"

Hope I helped XD
