| How can I detect the pressing of a diagonal on the directional pad. Like pressing up and right at the same time. |

Here for 'hardcoded':
| Code: |
if pad:up() and pad:right() then
....
elseif pad:up() and pad:left() then
....
elseif pad:up() then
....
elseif pad:left() then
....
end
|
Make sure the diagonals are before the 'normal' ones.
You can prolly use this if you use it for some kind of value changes, like y=y+1 and x=x+1 etc.:
| Code: |
if pad:up() then
....
end
if pad:right() then
....
end
if pad:left() then
....
end
|

| thanks for the quick response i appreciate it. that works, but its not that fluid. its like it moves in the direction of the first detected button. you have to press them both at exactly the same time to get it to move correctly, but it is not that fluid. are there any other solutions? |

Suggest a timer to allow the user to press two buttons before testing them.

If you do it the second way suggested by MikeHaggar, i.e.,

It should work perfectly without having to introduce the complexity of a timer or worrying about what order to call the checks in. |
