How do I move a certain distance on key press?

Hi everyone,

I want my character to move 50 pixels towards left and right on left/right key press.

Right now I have

On Right Arrow pressed: move 50 pixels at angle 0

However, that causes the sprite to instantly move 50 pixels as if it teleported.

How can I gradually move the character towards right and stop it after 50 pixels?

I am doing this instead of using 8 directions behaviour because I want it to moved at a set distance everytime left/right key is pressed.

try something like::
