Character walking with other keys

[DarlesLSF]

Hello, I set the directional keys for moving my character (vk_down, vk_up, vk_left and vk_right), but when I press any other key, this happen:

Why this happen?

Step event:

var direita = keyboard_check(vk_right);
var esquerda = keyboard_check(vk_left);
var cima = keyboard_check(vk_up);
var baixo = keyboard_check(vk_down);

vel_h = (direita - esquerda) * vel;
vel_v = (baixo - cima) * vel;

Where's the code that adds vel_h and vel_v to the characters x/y?

Where's the code that adds vel_h and vel_v to the characters x/y?

in the create event

velanim = .12;
vel = 2;
vel_h = 0;
vel_v = 0;

 

[Taddio]

in the create event

velanim = .12;
vel = 2;
vel_h = 0;
vel_v = 0;

There is nothing that adds your variables to your player's X.
Like
x += hsp;
Or something like that (NOT in the create event, tho)

Maybe try...

step event:

x += vel_h;
y += vel_v;

 

[Rob]

in the create event

velanim = .12;
vel = 2;
vel_h = 0;
vel_v = 0;

Like Taddio says you need to add/decrease the instance's x/y values by the value that's stored inside vel_h and vel_v otherwise that character will never move =P

But my character move normally, what Im saying its when I press any key of the keyboard, my character does the animation of walking, like the gif above. What I want its to know how to stop that.
In the gif, Im pressing the H in the keyboard and the character does the animation of walking. And that happens with any key, but only move with the directional keys.

Well there's nothing in the code you've provided that would cause that to happen.

Either there is some other code somewhere that is causing it or your keyboard is possessed by Satan.

 

[Taddio]

How to stop the animation is easy, just throw in something like
if keyboard_check(vk_nokey) {image_speed = 0;}
But as @Spam1985 said, if this code makes your player move, I'd contact an exorcist priest, because NOTHING in there updates your player position! Do you have keyboard events that manages movements, or just the step event you showed us?
EDIT: when you say your "character moves", do you mean actually changing position on the screen, or only "moonwalking" on the same spot (animation without any shift in (x,y)?

here's the full code:

var direita = keyboard_check(vk_right);
var esquerda = keyboard_check(vk_left);
var cima = keyboard_check(vk_up);
var baixo = keyboard_check(vk_down);

vel_h = (direita - esquerda) * vel;
vel_v = (baixo - cima) * vel;

if (place_meeting(x + vel_h, y, obj_parede))
{
    while (!place_meeting(x + sign(vel_h), y, obj_parede))
        {
            x += sign(vel_h);
        }
    vel_h = 0;
}
x += vel_h;

if (place_meeting(x, y + vel_v, obj_parede))
{
   while (!place_meeting(x, y + sign(vel_v), obj_parede))
    {
        y += sign(vel_v);
    }
    vel_v = 0;
}
y += vel_v;

I solved that using the "nokey" and setting the image_speed to 0.

That all looks totally fine if a little bit Portuguese.

There has to be some other code somewhere else that is doing it.
