you can just make a condition:
on right pressed and animation frame is 8 set animation frame to 0
on left pressed and animation frame is 0 set animation frame to 8
I'm doing this now, although it skips frame 0 when going right, and right to 7. (Frames being 0-7)
What would be the proper way to sequence this? Thank you for all your help so far, by the way.
