Hello. I am quite new to Unity and programming in general. I am trying to make a 2D game and I’m atm dealing with a dash movement. I am having some problems managing the direction of the dash, since i want it to be even oblique, so 8 directions possible. I am trying to work with GetAxisRaw but this causes the oblique dash to be faster since it has both 1 as horizontal speed and 1 as vertical speed, so it forced me to implement an if statement for the case I do an oblique dash and decreasing the axis speed. Is there a way to get the “3dimensional” speed of the axis and not only one of the 2 independently from the other? Thank you
Hi @Otoni24
Well, the most common trick for clamping non-axis align movement when using Vectors, is to use this:
Thank you very much, this is exactly what i was looking for. I was working with Vector2 until now, this means i have to work with Vector3 axis instead of Vector2 axis?
Did you check the corresponding page for Vector2 from the very same manual?

Oh ok, found it, Vector3 is actually for 3D. Thank you very much for your help
If you are trying to do this in a 2D game, the easiest way (which I use, as I am also a beginner), is to use a code which takes your Y axis and your X axis to move yourself up and down with the arrow keys. There are lots of different tutorials on how to do this on YouTube if you need it
