walkleft = 6
sprite 2,170,90,2

player1x = sprite x(2)
player1y = sprite y(2)

do
sync on
walkleft(player1x,player1y,walkleft)
loop


function walkleft(player1x,player1y,walkleft)
if rightkey()=1
   player1x = player1x + 5
      inc walkleft,1
      if walkleft > 9 then walkleft =6

1. As a new member, you are on post approval for a while. During this time, please allow time for your posts to be approved. Don't post again if it doesn't appear straight away as this is normal.

2. You have an edit button too, so you can go back and change your own posts at a later time.

3. Your code has some major clangers in it - obviously as you are new to DB. Read a few tutorials and/or the help files before you go any further.

As for your problem, player1x, player1y and walkleft are local variables in the function and in the main loop, they never change.

Finally, it's Sync in the main loop - NOT Sync On, and it should be at the end of the loop.
