How to make a diagonal animation?

In my game, a spaceship is moving with eight directions. I have the up, down, left, and right animations programmed, but is there a way to have diagonal animations? If it is possible, how do I do it?

Thank you.

In the animation editor there is a rotation feature. You may also get by with coding rotation when you press a diagonal key.

You can increase the number of animation directions by dragging a slider, located below the direction selector.

Is that what you meant?

You can have up to 32 directions in an animation and possibly even use "set angle" in the event editor to achieve 360 degrees worth of directions with a little bit of work.

Thanks so much! I never even saw the bar, this solved it!

Also, thanks Marv and MuddyMole, those are good things to know.
