Double tap to dash (With Multiple keypress)
Hi i am trying to implement a keyboard double tap features to dash my character. I encounter a problem of detecting diagonal key press which involve 2 key press. Example (up and Left key) within a frame. so that will detect diagonal. Problem is i am having trouble trying to detect 2 keypresses within 1 frame. I tried implementing a buffer to detect the next keypress before double tap but it has a very low success rate.

Btw i don't need the user to keep holding on the buttons because i just want user to double tap and let the code (or player object) do the rest of the dash. So it's only tap, not hold.
