I have variables for each axis of the Dpad that can equal -1, 0 or 1, and I want to use those to get an angular direction.

E.g. if X is 1 and Y is 0, get 0 as the angle, if X is -1 and Y is -1, get 135 as the angle, etc etc

What's the math for that, besides just hard-coding each of the 8 directions into the game?

You can use the angle() expression for that.

angle(0,0,xaxis,yaxis)
