2d Diagonal Movement Issue

Working on a 2d game idea and have normal directions working with sprite animations assigned correctly. Problem I’m having is assigning a mesh to diagonal movements (i.e. W + A keys). Been tryin to figure it out by python but falling short. Been modeling for years but have very limited coding knowhow. Any help is appreciated.

*edit: figured it out… now to incorporate idle pose sprites after a movement is done
