Moving diagonally at the same speed as horizontal/vertical

[Rissk13]

I'm trying to figure out the equivalent of this code (Arcade physics) for Matter physics.

this.player.body.velocity.normalize().scale(this.player.speed);

The goal being to make the player move diagonally at the same speed as only moving either horizontal/vertical. Right now it seems a little faster when setting the velocity X and Y to 3.

Maybe it will work with X = sqrt(3) and Y = sqrt(3) ?

Shouldn't cosines be more precise? If your movement's angle is precisely 45 degrees:

alpha = cos(45)

x = 3 * alpha

y = 3 * alpha

Oups, indeed kurhlaa is right here
