Problem moving 8 directions with the keyboard.

There's something wrong with the software, maybe it's not its fault, I don't know.

Moving 8 directions with the keyboard doesn't work 100%, at least not for me.

Here's what you can do:

Move up

Move down

Move left

Move right

Move up + left or reverse (top left diagonal)

Move up + right or reverse (diagonal at top right)

Does not work:

Move down + Left or reverse (bottom-left diagonal)

Move down + Right or reverse (diagonal at bottom right)

To be reviewed.

- Another remark: it would be nice to add full support for joysticks.

so you don't have to code like you do for the keyboard, that would be a big plus.

- Be able to return the value of the joystick angle (the angle at which the left or right joystick is currently positioned). (This could be used, for example, to move a character at the same angle as the joystick, another idea would be to be able to move the character at a speed proportional to the inclination of the joystick, the more it's inclined the faster the character moves).

- I don't know if it's possible to do this, but also for the left and right triggers, to know the pressing value, a bit like for joysticks.

It would be good if the developers could respond to this message to tell me what they think. Am I the only one for whom it is not working as expected? Why don’t they answer? Moreover, by now, it should have been perfected, but it hasn’t. Even when we do it ourselves with the visual code, it doesn’t work! There is definitely a bug here!

It's the weekend, so the devs may reply beyond Monday if community hasn't answered.

I'm not sure I've had similar issues with 8 direction, is it literally a new project, with a sprite, with default 8 direction behaviour?

Also, you're suggestions could be good to see, although the joystick angle is quite straightforward to get with the angle() expression, but I do agree it could be easier - you could post suggestions here: construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/general-discussion-7/report-bugs-amp-post-128538

I have another problem; in my example, the 8-direction behavior is disabled, but when I click with my mouse to move the character with the pathfinding behavior, then the 8-direction behavior reactivates, which is not normal.

Note: It’s not practical to share a file here; we cannot upload a file other than an image, it requires an external host. It would be good to add a way to share files on the site.

So what does the staff do, eh?

Is it too much to ask that they answer me?

Otherwise I'm going to post a series of so-called bugs and spam the GitHub?

It pisses me off, why don't they ever reply?

Thanks dop2000, I got it.
