This basics video tutorial shows you how to move diagonally in GameMaker Studio.

The idea is quite simple. You see when moving diagonally your player/enemy is moving way faster then it is supposed to be. To avoid this you need to define when a diagonal movement is happening and ajust the movement speed for diagonally speed value by a factor of 0.707. That's it!
