How do I Move diagonally w/ Gamepad

i get the feeling no one actually use gamepad functions...

Referring to the construct manual i can have my player move up down left and right with the analog stick, but i cannot figure out how to get the character to move diagonally with turning the stick in between angles.

Any idea?

If you use 8Direction, you don't have to do something special for diagonal movement.

This works for me:

This is perfect thanks, i dont know why it was giving me problems!

however I came across another problem though i added animations for each action and they seem to argue with each other if i dont press into a specific direction. up,down,left,right, Exact.

The code basically looks like this.

Left analog - press left, play animation "run left"

Left analog - press right, play animation "run right"

etc etc, any idea what i can do about that?

That problem is not so trivial, at least for me.

I made a litte example:

Hope that will help.

Please feel free to ask if there are something you don't understand.

Wow this is great! I cannot thank you enough for your help, somewhere on my end i have a few issues to sort out, but at least i have the knowledge on how to get it to work correctly.

Again thank you for taking the time helping me figure this out.
