Need help with coding.

Platformer_Ready

I have a game I am working on where I am trying to make a walk cycle work.
I want to make it so when the mouse is down, the person moves, and when it reaches the spot, the mouse was when it was clicked, it goes back to the idle animation. I can make the person move, but I cannot figure out how to make the walk cycle start or stop if it does start.
Can anyone please help?
I have the project link in this post, please explain if you know how to do this.

Im not sure but maybe just make it so when touching the mouse the sprite switches to

when green flag clicked
forever
if <touching [mouse pointer v] ?> then
switch costume to [idle v]
end
end

Thanks everyone for the help so far, but now I do need help with another thing. I need a collision system, and IDK how to make one. I'm using

if <touching color [] ?> then
set [Collision] to [1]

end

If anyone can help, please do

move () steps

Oh, I'm sorry, I didnt explain. This project doesnt use arrow keys, it uses your mouse to move.

nateyong

forever
if <> then
<key [ w] pressed?>
if <> then 
<touching color [#1b37da] ?>
  

else
move (10) steps

end
end
end

nateyong

oh

Maybe try

when green flag clicked
if <touching [wall v] ?> then
repeat until <not <touching [wall v] ?>>
move (-1) steps
end
end

This will only work if:
1. You change direction to where you walk
2. You use a custom block that runs without screen refresh and put the repeat in the define
3. You put the custom block where the repeat was
