EDIT:: I found a script for this
#==============================================================================
# 8 Way Directional Movement
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Kylock
# 21.3.2008
# Version 1.1
#==============================================================================
# Special thanks to Arrow-1 for the script request and supplying sprites for
# testing purposes.
#==============================================================================
# Instructions:
# Add this script towards the top, since methods are rewritten and not
# aliased. Once you add it and run your game, the script will
# automagically enable 8-way directional movement for your hero.
# Features:
# * Added movement functionality to allow your hero to move in diagonal
# directions
# * Corrects directional issues resulting from trying to activate events
# while facing a diaganol direction. (could be better implemented,
# but does work as it is)
#==============================================================================
# Changelog
# 1.0 Initial Release
# 1.1 Added support for no custom sprites and added compatibility with
# Anaryu's Anti-Lag script (must be loaded above the anti-lag script)
#==============================================================================
#==============================================================================
# ** Script Configuration
#==============================================================================
module KMDM
DIRSPRITE = false # set to true if you are using a custom
# character sprite for diagonal movement
end
#==============================================================================
# ** Game_Player
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# rewrote def move_by-input to enable extra directions
