How do I make Player's Character walk/move without the player have to click a key?

thanks in advance

Create a path in your world and let him walk that path

how do I make it walk through path?

Here is an example code, I use for my wrestler intro in my game.
Assign this action to your player.

var player_distance;//make a varible for how fast the player walks
action Auto_Walk//Give this action to your player
{

while(1) // use this to update your movement, without it, he will not move
{

player_distance.x = 2 * time; //Assign how fast he will walk, by replacing 2
player_distance.y = 0 * time; //Assign how fast he will walk, by replacing 0
player_distance.z = 0 * time;//Assign how fast he will walk, by replacing 0
ent_move(player_distance, nullvector);//ent_move is the instruction to make him move foward
MY.animationframe+= 8 * time;//how fast the walk animation will be
ent_animate(my,"walk",MY.animationframe,ANM_CYCLE);//this plays the walk anim

wait(1); //always us this wait instruction after while(), to avoid errors

}



}

The above code gives an error.

It says 'x' is not a member of 'function'

Should I define player_distance to be a vector?

I modified it. It works now. The player_distance variable needed its x, y, z parameters to be defined by vec_set().

Thanks for the code Burning Devil.
I hope you don't mind me using it in my game.

while(1) // use this to update your movement, without it, he will not move
{
vec_set(player_distance, vector(2,4, 0));//Assign how fast he will walk, by replacing 0
ent_move(player_distance, nullvector);//ent_move is the instruction to make him move foward
MY.animationframe+= 8 * time;//how fast the walk animation will be
ent_animate(my,"walk",MY.animationframe,ANM_CYCLE);//this plays the walk anim
