8 directional movement not moving

[whalewarrior1]

So I've been trying to make a movement system for a battle engine and it just doesn't move.
The code is

Menu open = "yes", set movement to static
Menu open = "no", set movement to 8 directional
Start of Frame, set direction to right.

It used to only be able to move up and left, but I remade the exact same code and now it doesn't move at all.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or how I can fix it?

just to clarify, the menu opens when the frame starts and closes after you select an option in the menu.

Try adding "Only one action when event loops" to each of your Menu open = "yes", and Menu open = "no" events. That should fix it. I've also attached an example file if you'd like to take a look. I hope this helps.
