Spawning 'chunks' on all axis

Heya,

im trying to spawn some chunks and followed a tutorial that seems to work on the Z axis. the script spawns the ‘chunks’ along the Z axis in front of the player and deletes old ones behind. what im having trouble doing now is getting it to work in all directions.
any help would be great!

i have tried just copying the functions and replacing it for the X, and Y axis, which does work, however the spaces diagonal dont work. as below:
