thumbstick mobile angle problem

Hi!

I have this thumbstick control for mobile that works good, but the only thing bothering me is that when you release the thumbstick to stop the sprite, the sprite turns to face up, down, left or right. I want it to stop at the angle you are facing when you stop touching the stick.

Hope that makes sense!

It is so hard to shoot the enemies when you can't stop and aim at them, but have to keep running to be able to aim at all angles.

here is my capx: dropbox.com/s/7o4fuixhtp3vdy4/testwalk.capx

Thank you so much in advance!

Change "Set angle" to No in 8direction properties and add this event:

character is moving -> character set angle to (Self.8Direction.MovingAngle)

Thanks! But hmm no it's still flipping back to those four angles. Except SOMEtimes when it stays sort of in place. :/

Pretty please if someone could help me figure this one out, I'm making this game for my workplace and it's going to be released soon and I want it to be perfect! :S

Do you think it something in the thumbstick settings?

They look like this (attached)

Oh, you also need to stop simulating controls immediately after the thumbstick is released.

Here is the fixed capx:
