Design / Re: Good way to do 8-directional movement with WASD

« on: May 27, 2014, 02:05:19 AM »

When working on my game I came across a similar problem of wanting to use the WASD keys, but the limiting factor of not being able to do the diagonal bugged me.  Right now I am testing out doing multiple key presses: W+ A = Diagonal up left, W+ D = Diagonal up Right, etc...  I found the trick to do this was a delayed input for like 0.05 seconds to see if another key was pressed.  Still testing it, but it seems to work pretty good.  You can try it out on my dev build that is posted on as Unity Web Player:  http://onlyluck.ca/DOD/
