How do I used normalized my diagonal movement?

Hello there,

as the tittle say, I'm having a bit of difficulties making my character diagonal speed the same speed as normal walking. It seems my diagonal speed is faster that normal walking. How do I fix this.

Below Is my movement script :

Code (CSharp):

1. moveX = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * (playerSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
2.             moveY = Input.GetAxis ("Vertical") * (playerSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
3.             mainCharacter.Translate (moveX , 0, moveY);

Thank you,.

 

Obviously it is faster. Walking 10 meters forward aint the same as moving 10 meters forward while at the same time moving 10 meters to the left or right.
What you are looking for is the normalized movement unit vector.

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector3 movement = new Vector3( Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis ("Vertical")).normalized;
2. mainCharacter.Translate ( movement * playerSpeed * Time.deltaTime );
