To elaborate on what I mean, I'm looking for how to get rid of the turning-esk aspect of the eight directions behavior, as the game I'm trying to make needs precise movement. I know to get rid of the sprite itself turning but the movement issues are still there. My goal is to specifically move in the eight directions and only the eight directions, nothing in between. Any ideas are appreciated.

Do you need it to move on a grid from cell to cell? In this case you can use MoveTo behavior.

With 8direction you can set very high acceleration and deceleration values, like 1000000000. Then the sprite will move almost exactly in eight directions. (within a fraction of a degree briefly when it turns)

Thanks, this is more or less what I was looking for (and I'm kicking myself for not thinking of that).
