![Early map and sprites for BulletKeys (MAKECODE)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/7/c/7cab4586b3a043d2ad1544445eca7e2f9c0e00e3.png) This is the game I’m making. I’m using Arcade Character Animation and Status Bars. I need help animating Ranghy in Up, Down, Left, and Right. I got directional projectiles working, but this thing won’t animate. Can anyone help? ---
