Problem with 360 shooter

[Pancra]

Okey...Ive seen a lot of tutorials that use no extensions, all of them uses trigonometry, Im used to it, but I have a problem with the movement.

Im doing a game in MMF2, I want to make a character viewed from the top to move in 360 directions, and I want it to spin clock and counter clock-wise and fire in all the 360º.
I tryed making the movement like this:

- On player1 up:
SetX: X( "Player1" )+Cos(Angle( "Player1"))*3
SetY: Y( "Player1" )-Sin(Angle( "Player1" ))*3
- On player1 right
Set Angle: Angle( "Jug1" )-10
- On player1 left
Set Angle: Angle( "Jug1" )+10

It kinda works but I dont like it, for example when the player is in direction 1 it walks like it was on direction 0 and for some reason when I hold the up and right keys the player starts spining but not in a form of a circle but more kinda a serpentine (making circles but changing the centre).
And I think there will be problems with firing more later.
Do I need some extension?, how do I do 360º and not only 32?.

Thanks

EDIT: I wanted 360 dirs, not only 8, changed.

Seems to me like 10 is too much. Try changing it to 2.

If it's not in the center, try moving the image's hotspot.

yes well, it was too much, 4 is better, but the movement is still like a serpentine.
And the worst problem is that there arent 360 directions to walk, there are a lot less, I want it to be more accurate.

Is the problem that the decimals get lost?, must I save them in a variable?

Yes, you don't get the decimals when you manipulate the X and Y of the object directly.
Use two alterable values to store and change the X and Y just as you described it above. Then have an always event that sets the object's X and Y to those alterable values.
The alterable values will keep the decimals if you use the "Set" action (Add and Substract doesn't).
Also you will need to set the alterable values to the X and Y of the object at the start of the frame, or it will be offset and starting at (0,0).

Yes...that worked, thanks to all.
