I can make a 8 direction movement pretty well, but collisions just aren't working. Does anyone have an example of one?

What? For custom 8-dir you should only need 4 sensors (square body)

That's real helpful Gamester AGAIN!!!
That's two posts requesting help that you have replied on and neither have been any use. One of them was mine so granted I might be a little jaded but i really see no point in posting it what you are going to post is unconstructive.
He asked for a working example so if you are going to post either provide links to an example you KNOW is working or talk him through it.
This is exactly the kind of post that is being discussed on the "What do you think happened to this place?" topic.
@Jon C-B unfortunately i am unable to help directly but if you posted a copy of your engine then i could have a look for you to see if anything was immediately obvious.

Well I have manadged to do collisions of some sort. But it just doesn't seem right, it seems like you get stuf in the walls and stuff. http://www.mediafire.com/?zmnhztdenyw

Geez calm down LOL.
Sorry that I am working at the moment (7 days a week 8-15 hours a day, mind you) and can't set centuries of time aside to help Jon C-B figure out how to make an 8 Directional custom engine.
Since I could not do that, I just recommended that he should try using 4 sensors with a square body.
@Jon
To make this work, create 4 sensors for your body (the black square) - 1 for each side. Always position these sensors 1 pixel away from the body.
Now remove the diagonal events.
Create a counter and name it direction or something of the sort.
Now
Repeat while up is pressed
+ no other directions are pressed
-Set Counter to 1
Repeat while up is pressed
+ repeat while right is pressed
+ no other directions are pressed
- Set Counter to 2
Do this for all 8 directions. This will ensure that your character always faces the proper direction later.
Counter = 1
-Set character direction to up
Counter = 2
-Set character direction to up right
etc.
You may have to play around with this as I'm in a rush and typing this off of the top of my head.
Now all you have to do is
User is holding up
+ top sensor is not overlapping an obstacle
- Move up
User is holding right
+ right sensor is not overlapping an obstacle
-Move right
User is holding down
+ bottom sensor is not overlapping an obstacle
-Move down
User is holding left
+ left sensor is not overlapping an obstacle
-Move Left
You do NOT need diagonal events when making 8 directional movements.

The detector is smaller than the player body which is part of the problem. I kind of like that, because it allows the player to get close to a wall and ... I like it? The reason that collisions aren't working is that you just add or subtract 4 whenever the player trys to touch the wall. This prevents the player from fully getting to the wall. use a fastloop system... I'll have an example ready in a bit, but I don't have time right now. Do not use Gamester's method, it uses too many unnecessary detectors.
Awesomeness is Watermelon.

I found using stop very usefull instead of detectors, even if u use custom movement, just set object movement to 8 dir and set not move at start, it will still be very good at collisions. U can use it for the detector or the player it doesnt matter. Just do condition collides with wall objects, = stop
Also u should use overlaping negates to make it perfect.
Actually nevermind that, detectors should be more better anyways.
