Okay well now when I move the run anim keeps playing even when im not moving

function init(self) 
	msg.post(".","acquire_input_focus")
	self.runSpeed = 50
	self.curAnim = "idle"
	msg.post("#sprite", "play_animation", { id=hash("idle") })
	self.speed = vmath.vector3()
	particlefx.play("#playerparticle")
end
function update(self, dt)
	local pos = go.get_position()
	if self.speed.x ~= 0 then
		msg.post("#sprite", "play_animation", { id=hash("idle") })
	if self.speed.x ~= 0 then    
		pos = pos + self.speed * dt
		go.set_position(pos)
		msg.post("#sprite", "play_animation", { id=hash("idle") })
		if self.curAnim ~= "run" then
			msg.post("#sprite", "play_animation", { id=hash("run") })
			self.curAnim = "run"
			self.curAnim = "idle"
		end
	elseif self.curAnim ~= "idle" then
		msg.post("#sprite", "play_animation", { id=hash("idle") })
		self.curAnim = "idle"
	end
	self.speed = vmath.vector3()
end
function on_input(self, action_id, action)
	if action_id == hash("MOVE_RIGHT") then
		self.speed.x = self.runSpeed
		sprite.set_hflip("#sprite", false)
	end    
	if action_id == hash("MOVE_LEFT") then
		self.speed.x = self.runSpeed * -1
		sprite.set_hflip("#sprite", true)
	end        
end
end

Oops thats the wrong code

function init(self) 
	msg.post(".","acquire_input_focus")
	self.runSpeed = 50
	self.curAnim = "idle"
	msg.post("#sprite", "play_animation", { id=hash("idle") })
	self.speed = vmath.vector3()
	particlefx.play("#playerparticle")
end
function update(self, dt)
	local pos = go.get_position()
	if self.speed.x ~= 0 then    
		pos = pos + self.speed * dt
		go.set_position(pos)
		msg.post("#sprite", "play_animation", { id=hash("idle") })
		if self.curAnim ~= "run" then
			msg.post("#sprite", "play_animation", { id=hash("run") })
			self.curAnim = "run"
			self.curAnim = "idle"
		end
	elseif self.curAnim ~= "idle" then
		msg.post("#sprite", "play_animation", { id=hash("idle") })
		self.curAnim = "idle"
	end
	self.speed = vmath.vector3()
end
function on_input(self, action_id, action)
	if action_id == hash("MOVE_RIGHT") then
		self.speed.x = self.runSpeed
		sprite.set_hflip("#sprite", false)
	end    
	if action_id == hash("MOVE_LEFT") then
		self.speed.x = self.runSpeed * -1
		sprite.set_hflip("#sprite", true)
	end        
end
#8

Is the run animation set to loop or forward once?

#9

Once forward

Try debugging your script by using print(thing) and pprint(table) anywhere you think values are not being set/unset properly.
