Gauge

Assum CharX,CharY as the characters position.
Then your using mousex,mousey to pick the spot. If your not using tiles just the x/y pos figure use mousex/mousey and use these next ifs to figure the direction. If your using tiles...youll have to write a slightly more advanced code, cause if you click 3 tiles right)(east) and 1 tile(north) your anim string would be loaded as ne, and you would move 1ne, and then 2e all as anim ne direction.

If charX=ClickX Andif CharY<ClickY then "anim string south"
If charX=clickX andif chary>clicky then "anim string north"
If charX>clickx andif chary=Clicky then "anim string east"
if charX<clickx andif chary=clicky then "anim string east"
;Note if your not using a tile system, you'll probably want
;to add a 20 or 30 degree pixel varriance on clickx/clicky
;otherwise it'll only pick e/n/s/w on line of pixels
If CharX<ClickX Andif CharY<ClickY then "anim string nw"
if charX>ClickX andif CharY<ClickY then "anim string ne"
if CharX>ClickX andif CharY>ClickY then "anim string se"
if charx<ClickX andif CharY>Clicky then "anim string sw"

I don't know if this helps, but post up your code and i'll try to get it to work for ya
