Im new to GML and am having some problems, Sprite issues to be specific

Heres a thread regarding this ive made on the GMC http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=427261

Well apparently it didnt work like i thought. Now Mario stops and faces in the direction like I wanted to, BUT his feet are still going through their running animation when I stop moving. wtf? Also I removed the "if" codes that Jumpy helped me fix and apparently those had no effect whatsoever! XD I removed them and it still did the same thing so the code never actually did anything in the first place.

Heres exactly everything I have for the Mario object.





The code thats in that event





And the code for that event



I just want mario to stop and face in the direction of the last key pressed. So what am i missing to get it to do what I want it to? Thanks in advance.

you need to stop the mario on the release key events
ie:
release left
if (speed < 0) speed += 0.25;
image_speed = 0;
release right
if (speed > 0) speed -= 0.25;
image_speed = 0;
assuming that's how "Move in a direction" works
Combining GML with DND is never a good idea.

You should program it on the step event like this or you can do what char said

Cool, it worked char. Thank you and thanks Sergeant DeeY. Well now it works, but not it just stops on a random animation of Marios walking. Each walking direction has 2 subimages, the static is 0 and then the walking is 1. SOmetimes now the animation stops on 0 but mostly on 1. Im guessing I have to add an image_index command to get it to stop on the 0 subimage everytime?

EDIT:
Nevermind answered my own question. Thanks guys! Also I'll keep away from mixing DnD and code. I just found something that will help me
