ok ive had a look at your code and what i see is that the error is in this bit
if rightkey()
heroX=heroX+14
heroface=8
herostance=herostance+8
if herostance >14 then herostance=8
endif
you see when ever you press right, 8 is being added to herostance. so if herostance was 1 and you pressed right, herostance would become 8. if it was pressed again herostance would become 16 and therefore because thats greater then 14 it would then become 8 again, so herostance will always be 8 when your walking right. now im no expert but the way i would fix it would be to add another variable called 'herodir' as in hero direction. then you change the above code so that the line:
herostance=herostance+8
becomes
herostance=herostance-1
you could then use herodir to determine which way the hero is facing. if herodir does not equal what it was during the last do loop, then you add 8 or subtract 8 for herostance. so the finished code becomes...

i havent tested it or anything but i hope it helps, buddy
happy coding!
