Change the "Directions" property of 8directional behaviour?

Is there any way of changing the "Directions" property (that controls how the sprite moves, be it updown, leftright, 4directions or 8 etc) from an event? I see actions to change acceleration, decceleration, speed, etc, but none to change directions property

I think that's pretty static, unfortunately. I'd recommend having three sets of directions behaviors, and disabling them all, and enabling the one you need as a work around, but that can be a bit of a pain for a work around. Other than that, you might be out of luck. Sorry mate!
