Hey ! just wanted to have a talk or just ask about what i did and if there was some simpler or more elegant way to do this. i added my own (different asset) character sprite with 18 frames by 3 layer
so 6 frames for layer, while idle animation sprite is 4 frame, running anim. is 6 frames

// MOVEMENT
    Vector2 direction{};
    if (IsKeyDown(KEY_A))
    {
        direction.x -= 1.0;
        TileLayer = 16;
    }
    if (IsKeyDown(KEY_D))
    {
        direction.x += 1.0;
        TileLayer = 16; 
    }
    if (IsKeyDown(KEY_W))
    {
        direction.y -= 1.0;
        TileLayer = 32;
    }
    if (IsKeyDown(KEY_S))
    {
        direction.y += 1.0;
        TileLayer = 0;
    }
    if (Vector2Length(direction) != 0.0)
    {
        // set worldPos = worldPos + direction
        worldPos = Vector2Add(worldPos, Vector2Scale(Vector2Normalize(direction), SPEED));
        direction.x < 0.f ? rightLeft = -1.f : rightLeft = 1.f;
        direction.y < 0.f ? upDown = -1.f : upDown = 1.f;
        texture = run;
        maxFrame = 6;
    }
    else
    {
        texture = idle;
    }

i added variable for “TileLayer” which is variable that changes layer of the tile while 0 is layer 1, 16 layer 2 and 32 layer 3. and just added tilelayer modifer to each key press to cycle between layer while pressing just the right key for all directions + i added modifire for “maxFrame” to be 6 for running instead of 4 which is for idle animation.
