also animation code that i am kinda proud of:

1. create a new script for the sprite and add this to it:

		
			extends Sprite2D

var frame_num = 0
var framei = 0
var anime_time = 0
var backwards = false #for 3 frames of animation on the sprite sheet

func walk():
	anime_time += 1
	if anime_time % 15 == 0:
		frame_coords.x = framei
		frame_num += 1
		if backwards:
			framei -= 1
		else:
			framei += 1
	if frame_num > 3:
		frame_num = 0
		framei = 0
		anime_time = 0
		backwards = false

func run():
	anime_time += 1
	if anime_time == 1:
		framei = 4
	if anime_time % 8 == 0:
		frame_coords.x = framei
		frame_num += 1
		if backwards:
			framei -= 1
		else:
			framei += 1
	if frame_num > 5:
		frame_num = 0
		framei = 4
		anime_time = 0
		backwards = false

		
	

2. add a script for the player and add this to it:

		
			extends CharacterBody2D


const SPEED = 300.0

var dir = 0



func _physics_process(delta):
	if !Global.player_can_move:
		$Main.frame_coords.x = 1
		
		return "my mom has been deployed"
	var input = Vector2(Input.get_axis("ui_left","ui_right"),Input.get_axis("ui_up","ui_down")).normalized()
	var st = 0
	if input:
		velocity = input*SPEED*((float(Input.is_action_pressed("ui_cancel"))/2))
		match Input.is_action_pressed("ui_cancel"):
			false:
				$Main.walk()
			true:
				if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_cancel"):
					$Main.anime_time = 0
				$Main.run()
		dir = check_direction(input)
		$Main.frame_coords.y = dir
	else:
		velocity= lerp(velocity,Vector2.ZERO,0.6)
		$Main.frame_coords.x = 1

	move_and_slide()


func check_direction(input:Vector2):
	if input.x > 0:
		input.x = 1
	elif input.x < 0:
		input.x = -1
	if input.y > 0:
		input.y = 1
	elif input.y < 0:
		input.y = -1
	print(input)
	if input == Vector2(0,1):
		return 0
	if input == Vector2(-1,0):
		return 1
	if input == Vector2(1,0):
		return 2
	if input == Vector2(0,-1):
		return 3
	if input == Vector2(-1,1):
		return 4
	if input == Vector2(1,1):
		return 5
	if input == Vector2(-1,-1):
		return 6
	if input == Vector2(1,-1):
		return 7

		
	

($main is the sprite node)
there might be some errors here based on your sprite sheet but if you are using a sprite with 4 or 8 directional movement that has each direction under the other then it should work fine
also the run funcition is optional if you have a run animation but if you don't you can just remove it and just increase the walk animation speed by 60%
