Hey, I’m working on a basic sidescroller and I have a little problem.  
The character moves when you hit left and right but his animations do not play. Aswell, he does not ‘duck’ as he is supposed to.

It also seems like my ‘ground’ limiting is not as great as it should be. I don’t want the player to hover above the ground and if you shimmy him a bit you can get through the side limits. hehe

Can anyone debug for me and maybe give me a remedy? Thanks
