use 8-direction movement: [yes]
Turns on 8-direction movement: the arrows move the sprite by themselves, with acceleration and braking.
8-Direction Movement
Move with the arrows in 8 (or 4) directions with acceleration and deceleration, like Construct 3. Great for top-down games.
Just use "use 8-direction movement: yes" on the green flag: the arrows already move the sprite (no "forever" needed). Speeds are in steps per second. The sprite does not pass through barriers or solid map blocks. For on-screen controls or AI, use "controls: none" and "simulate key" inside a "forever".
To use it: in the editor, click "Extensions" (bottom corner) and add "8-Direction Movement".
