Right now, I'm making a shooter/platformer type game, where you can aim in 8 directions by pushing the arrow keys in the direction you want (the bottom 3 can only be aimed while in the air). However, you can't point diagonally down-left. Everything works fine when it comes to shooting an all that, but it's like that one direction doesn't exist.
Figured out your shooting problem; you forgot to add "(negated)Repeat while moved down" in event #66. Without it, holding left forces her direction to 16.
In the future, you might want to add a little debugger to see what your player's directions are. Just make a string object, uncheck "display as background" and "follow the frame", and make it white or something contrasting the background. Then give it a behavior with these events:
+Start of frame
-Set x position to: Xleftframe+10
-Set y position to: Ytopframe+10
+Always
-Change alterable string to: "Direction:"+Str$(Dir("Your Player"))
Well, since you've fixed my problem, and sience Nobody can now aim in all 8 directions, there would be no point to the debugger you just mentioned, but thanks for helping me, I spent all afternoon trying to think of what I did wrong.
