8 direction movement

[jaaj302005]

i want to set the speed of an object in the event editor, but when i do this it ignores the acceleration setting.

It may be because your event is constantly setting the objects speed to something. If for instance you had...

Always
-->Set speed to 20

...acceleration is going to be ignored because the event will be setting it back to 20 continuously. You want an event that only sets the speed once (or only under certain conditions)

If this isn't the issue, posting an example of your problem could help to resolve things faster.

Not sure. You could use something like Control X most likely, but I haven't checked. Otherwise you'd have to make your own custom 8 direction movement.
