Diagonal Animations

I'm trying to get 8 directional movement to have animations.

I can get up,down,left and right animations but I can't make certain animations play if two keys are held down at once.

Any help?

Maybe if you put 2 conditions for your diagonal animation instead of one.

For example, if you want the North/East direction + Animation:

                      Condition-----> Action

(On)key is down | up arrow    ------> player | set animation to "NorthEast" (play from the beginning)

(On)key is down | right arrow

Just make sure that both conditions are on the same "cell"

Doesn't seem to work. Player just slides around.

I had the same problems! This post helped:

I downloaded the file the guy posted and looked at the event, it's really clever actually. In the thread, there's a great mathematical explanation on how it works too.
