I figured it out, I was having the top grass layer as a solid as well.

I've tried that but then my next issue is that the collision box for the item is larger than the object itself.

Example:

I am fairly new to C2 and I am running into an issue that I have not been able to correctly address yet. I have a floor tilemap, the object is on layer 2, player on layer 1, and background on layer 0. I can't seem to get the player to collide with the top of the floor instead of sitting on the middle of the floor.

Here's what it looks like:

Awesome! That helps so much more visually being able to see what I'm doing wrong! I'm super new to this so visuals help me a bit.

binding the sprite to the layout might do what you're wanting as well.

So I figured how to set the animations into one sprite and here is what I have so far for everything. does this look about correct?

Hey guys, I'm new to game development and so far I'm liking it as a fun hobby but I've run into a confusing situation already. I have a sprite with animations for both idle and when moving and I am trying to use construct2 to make this little game. The issue is that I cannot figure out how to get the idle motion to play when the "D" or "A" keys are being pressed.

I can get the "movinganimation" to constantly loop and move back and forth when "A" or "D" is pressed but when I am not pressing either the walking animation continues to loop.

Here's my events so far:
