Help with a helper

[Kenthos]

Hello I am in need of help with my char.

He brings out a puppet and stands back and fight. you use the arrows to move the puppet like you would the guy controling him. so I thought using variables press the right arrow and it sets the variable to 1 and he would check to see what the variable was set too then move based on it. but its not working is there anyone who knows what is wrongt? here's the coding.

Maybe something like this will work? Im not sure. 

[Bastard Mami]

do not forget settting keyctrl to 1 while creating the helper, as well as making it type = player.

[Kenthos]

What i mean is that the player stands still and tells the helper where to go.
I thought is that if you enter a state where you hit arrows it would set the variable right 1 left 2 stand 0 and so on.
but i think the helper has his own variable so he's not responding to the arrows entered.

wait just read the last post this may work fine thanks.
