Gamepad 8way D-pad?

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Hello my friends I’ve always been a fan of how Bethesda used all 8 directions of the gamepad’s d-pad for Fallout 3 and NV, and I’ve been trying to think of a way to implement that type of system. But I’m not sure how I could use multiple buttons simultaneously, does anyone have any suggestions to get me on the right track?

Hi AlphaHemi,

Use Boolean checks. When you press a directional arrow, set a bool to true, release sets it to false. If you have both left and down set to true, you can run a different set of scripts than if only left or down were pressed. Something like this:
