8 Direction Movement and shooting problem

[IY5]

I have the wierdest problem, whenever i have a ship or somthing else that uses the 8 Direction Movement, it bugs up with it's Shooting.

Whenever i face up and to the left, it wont allow me to shoot, and if im holding down my shooting button, it wont let me face up and to the left.

I was wondering if its a general bug or something wrong with my programming.

I have never run across that before. Probably best to concentrate on your coding.

Upload your MFA into the file archive and we can take a look.
I am pretty sure its justs an eventing issue.

Are you using the space key for shoot?

Many keyboards don't allow you to have multiple arrow keys and the space bar held down at the same time.

Try using Z for shoot and see if you still have the problem.

Yes, space bar, and thats what i was thinking but wasnt sure, Thanks alot! that really helps, and using z did work. i will see if i can disable that issue in my own keyboard.
Thanks for everyone's help~
