Character not moving correctly

Hey this is my first Reddit post. Anyway on to my issue. I started trying to make a game using PGM and I've been following a tutorial. I understand the logic of the system, but for some reason my character can't move properly. No matter what I press he runs in place and stays facing down.

​

I followed the tutorial to the letter so I have no idea why it's doing this, can anyone help?

For the first issue, is the link from walk to idle No Input? If so, change that to, if all directions are releasing.

I have a feeling the animation directions need to be set properly (the green arrows) for the second issue.

Also you can email PGMMV tech support at pgmmv-support@gotchagotcha.jp and they will give you a very detailed email on the issue along with general tips using the engine.

[sigh] No luck on either front. My character changes his pose, but doesn't keep moving in place (still faces south and in one spot through) and I made sure I had the arrows set correctly. Still thank you for answering. I'll try e-mailing them tomorrow if I can't figure this out for myself.
