Windows Movement problem

[Marquitos3000]

Hi, I´m making an RPG game and I use this code in my character´s step event:

//Estado del jugador
keyLeft = keyboard_check(vk_left);
keyRight = keyboard_check(vk_right);
keyUp = keyboard_check(vk_up);
keyDown = keyboard_check(vk_down);
keyActivate = keyboard_check_pressed(ord("z"));
keyAttack = keyboard_check_pressed(ord("x"));
keyItem = keyboard_check_pressed(vk_shift);

inputDirection = point_direction(0,0,keyRight-keyLeft,keyDown-keyUp);
inputMagnitude = (keyRight - keyLeft != 0) || (keyDown - keyUp != 0);

//Movimiento
hSpeed = lengthdir_x(inputMagnitude * speedWalk , inputDirection);
vSpeed = lengthdir_y(inputMagnitude * speedWalk , inputDirection);

x  += hSpeed*2;
y += vSpeed*2;

My character was moving slow so as you can see I multiplied the hSpeed and vSpeed *2. But now when I move diagonally my character moves slowler. What can I correct?

Change speedWalk instead of multiplying the hspeed and vspeed. In terms of vectors, the magnitude is the "speed" at which you will move at, and you are already multiplying the magnitude (which is inputMagnitude) with speedWalk, no need to attempt to add another multiplier somewhere else.

It worked, thanks.
