Thank you for your help Katala but I am unsure I understand what your implying. Excuse my noobness :D. I think I have tried what you are suggesting.. This setup still does not work. I feel like I am doing something wrong, or I am just missing a step.I have also included a screen capture of what the player is doing when you hold down all the arrow keys. You can see that he is shooting in all four directions. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you again
