My playable character will not do its idle animation after I gave it a walking animation.

The reason why he's not moving is because the broadcast “startwalkcycle” is stopping all the other scripts in the sprite, meaning that the script where he's “changing costumes” is not being executed

This is a combination of a few problems:

Your idle animation will only start if no keys are pressed when the game starts. Swap the position of the if block and forever loop.

Your “stop walk cycle” broadcast stops every other block in the sprite from running, including your idle animation. You will need to make the idle animation start again after the walk cycle has stopped.

(I don't think this needs fixing but it might be worth doing to make sure you encounter no bugs in the future) Your “do walk cycle” and “start walk cycle” block are strangely entangled with one another. This could lead to future errors.

Theres a bunch of problems, but look at what I did: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/961169788. It's a decent start, but can be improved. If you use this, please give credit.

Another problem is that the “Startgame” broadcast runs continually, which resets the idle animation script each tick, so nothing happens.

Thanks for the help everyone! I managed to solve the problem.
