I am using Pixel Movement, Is it possible to move diognal using only 4 Dirs so it dosnt keep its default icon_state like

if usr is walking to left and bump into densed turf, then user holds left and presses north (to move Diognal NorthEast) the iconstate changes to North or what ever it is on 8 dirs icon

You can do something like this:

mob
    movement()
        ..()
        
        if(move_y > 0)
            dir = NORTH
        else if(move_y < 0)
            dir = SOUTH
        else if(move_x < 0)
            dir = WEST
        else if(move_x > 0)
            dir = EAST

but i want it to work something like this 
if(src.MN || src.QueN)
            if(src.ME || src.QueE)  if(!step(src,NORTHEAST) && !step(src,NORTH))    step(src,EAST)
            else if(src.MW || src.QueW) if(!step(src,NORTHWEST) && !step(src,NORTH))    step(src,WEST)
            else    step(src,NORTH)
        else    if(src.MS || src.QueS)
            if(src.ME || src.QueE)  if(!step(src,SOUTHEAST) && !step(src,SOUTH))    step(src,EAST)
            else if(src.MW || src.QueW) if(!step(src,SOUTHWEST) && !step(src,SOUTH))    step(src,WEST)
            else    step(src,SOUTH)
        else    if(src.ME || src.QueE)  step(src,EAST)
        else    if(src.MW || src.QueW)  step(src,WEST)

I have no clue what those variables are, but by the looks of the step() logic, I can tell you that the library already lets you slide along walls. If what you're asking is "when the player slides along a wall, the player's dir is in the direction of movement instead of key input" then Forum_account's solution should work.

Did you run the code I posted? If so, how is it different than what you're trying to do?

Here are the 2 demos, One is based on Byond's Pixel Movement and other one based on Forum Account's Pixel Movement, my Concern is more on how the diognal works Byond Pixel Movement.

It's not a problem that you provided demos, but I'm still not sure what you're going for.

If you want to use all 8 directional states, you can use this code instead:

mob
    movement()
        ..()
        
        var/d = 0
        if(move_x > 0)
            d |= EAST
        else if(move_x < 0)
            d |= WEST
        
        if(move_y > 0)
            d |= NORTH
        else if(move_y < 0)
            d |= SOUTH
            
        dir = d

Thanks that solved my problem but now i am getting another problem which is when you host game with pixel movement, the movement lags

What do you mean by "the movement lags"? Due to network latency a game will never run as well over a network as it will when you run it locally, so some difference in performance should be expected.

That link isn't working. I've seen pixel movement work fine before, so if you're seeing a lot of lag it's most likely a problem with someone's internet connection.
