Common-ish Player Control Code

(hard to predict results)

this.animations.add('walking', [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12], 30, true);
this.animations.add('walking_to_sitting', [13,14,15,16,17,18,19], 40, false); 
this.animations.add('sitting', [21,22,23,24,25,26], 35, true);
this.animations.add('sitting_to_walking', [19,18,17,16,15,14,13], 40, false);
this.animations.add('sitting_to_laying', [88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,97,97,97,97], 40, false);

example from: aroth/phaser-extend-sprite-statemachine-example

// walking
  this.sm.transition('walking_to_sitting', 'walking', 'sitting', function(){
    return ( !game.input.keyboard.isDown(Phaser.Keyboard.RIGHT) );
  });
  
  this.sm.transition('sitting_to_walking', 'sitting', 'walking', function(){
    return ( game.input.keyboard.isDown(Phaser.Keyboard.RIGHT) );
  });
this.sm = new StateMachine( this, { debug: false } );
  var self = this;
  
  this.sm.state('sitting', {
    enter:  function(){ },
    update: function(){ },
    exit:   function(){ }
  });
