Don't play animation unless facing?

Toerott

Hello, So I have an animation for moving up and down, but I need it to play different animations when facing each direction. For example, If I move my actor to the right and then up I want it to play the animation with the actor facing right. When I move left then up...I want the character to animate towards the left. Thanks!

Ah, I misunderstood your question. This link is for animating according to direction. But you could create a variable that is set only when you hit left and right, so that each time the actor stops it checks to see what the value of that direction is and plays that animation.
