Character doesn't keep animation direction in grid movement

Help Animation

4.4.1,

Question

`The problem is, is that when spawning in and when stopping moving the character is looking up. What I want to do is when the character stops moving it keeps it’s direction but it switch to that direction’s idle animation. I’m using click to move AStarGrid movement. On the side my script doesn’t have variable character speed which I’d like to implement. Thanks
