GM Noob help...

OK, I'm trying to fully learn gm from the basics, and I never learned how to do 8 direction movement with sprites...OK so far I have;

Code: [Select]

if(keyboard_check(vk_up))
{
    y -= 1;
}
if(keyboard_check(vk_down))
{
    y += 1;
}
if(keyboard_check(vk_right))
{
    x += 1;
}
if(keyboard_check(vk_left))
{
    x -= 1;
}

That gives my Character the basic movements, but then how would I implement the sprites needed to do all 8 directions? And then again; how would I make the Charactor 'shoot' their bullets in all 8 directions...please help.


Solved Thanks to jdbye on msn <3

So what! I wanna get out! 'Cos there's so much out there! So many different people, living different lives! Incredibly good guys, bad guys... Folks completely different from us! It's one huge melting pot! See, it's not about success, dying in the streets, who's better, who's not! I just want to be a part of it! I realized that even if I've no connections, no talent, even if I'm one big loser, I want to use my hands and feet to think and move, to shape my own life! We can just die here or we can try, see what we've got!

Re: GM Noob help...

just want to say that you could probably come across MANY examples of how to do such things by searching the tutorial or whatever forum on the gmc
so if you're ever stuck, you can always check out places like that to find something that's already done it and see exactly how its been done
or whatever
