How do I make my character move correspondingly when I...

...hold down two keys at once to move?

So atm, my character moves with WASD, the usual. But when I, say, press W and A, to make my character go NW, it goes in the complete opposite direction.

Is there a way to program my character to move properly with WASD, and when two keys are held down it moves in the correct in-between direction?

Could u put a screensplash of your "code"?

Is your character using the 8Direction behavior, gomotion100?

Here:

• Insert a "Keyboard" object.
• Make an event: Keyboard -> Key Is Down -> "W"
• Make an action: Player (or whatever you are calling it) -> 8Direction -> Simulate 8Direction pressing Up
• Make an event: Keyboard -> Key Is Down -> "A"
• Make an action: Player -> 8Direction -> Simulate 8Direction pressing Left
• Make an event: Keyboard -> Key is Down -> "S"
• Make an action: Player -> 8Direction -> Simulate 8Direction pressing Down
• Make an event: Keyboard -> Key is Down -> "D"
• Make an action: Player -> 8Direction -> Simulate 8Direction pressing Right

Also, check in your properties panel and make sure the "Directions" property is set to 8 Directions.

Does that help?
