I’m using a character animation extension trying to make a walk/run animation but it just does not seem to work. I have checked many tutorials but just cant find how to fix it. Can anyone help? > **[Intro to MakeCode Arcade](https://arcade.makecode.com/S42279-45545-54541-04063)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

Hmph. Try using the animate block. It used to be in extensions but now part of it is in advanced. ---

I found out why it doesnt work. Its probably because of this ![Screenshot (7)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/e/e4631498a47c2c32dbbfbf40dc970302f10c3c52.png) ---
