Hi there! I'm working on a shooter, and I want the player to be able to shoot in the directions Left, right, left up, right up and up. I'm not sure how to do the right up and left up though. How would you formulate the "while pressed down" events? I tried "while Up is pressed down" and "while left is pressed down", but it didn't work as I hoped.
Any ideas?

Well I would have "while Up is pressed" and "while Left is pressed" set alterable value A to "1"
Then I would have "fire is pressed" and "alterable value A equals 1" -- fire in the up-left direction.
Of course the animation might not work because of how you programmed the rest of the engine. Probably best to just post the whole thing and let someone fix it.

Here's an example I whipped up.

Hopefully it is what you're after or will give you an idea of what you can do.

Thanks, that worked! I forgot to mention that the character can only stand still while shooting or aiming, but I fixed that!
