Change Animation When Actor Changes Direction

SmokeyAce73

I've been looking at other posts and cannot find quite what im looking for. I know how to change the animation if say the actor was moving left or right with controls.
However, the game im currently working on has a joystick at the bottom corner which moves the actor.
I have animations for the character moving NE, E, SE (The only direction they will be moving in)

The question is, how would I be able to change the animation of the actor when it is moving NE to when its moving E and again for SE.

I've thought about maybe when the joystick goes to a certain angle the animation will change using say an integer.
Thanks for the Help

You could probably constrain the joystick angle to a game attribute. Then create a few rules that have a few conditions that may say something like this:

Rule:
When game.joystick angle is faster than 100, but less than 150

I'll give it a go. Thanks!

Really can't figure this out, im kinda new so trying to work around constraining the angle, would it be easier to say if self.y increases x amount from actor spawn and if self.y decreases x ammount from actor spawn?
