Player still moving into wrong direction when I change it,Player first slows down before moving into other direction

Hey guys,

so i am able to move my player with the virtual joystick I implemented but one problem occurs when changing directions. When I change the direction - via the virtual joystick - the player does not move directly into the new direction it somehow seems to slow down a bit by move into the previous direction and then moving into the new one. How can I fix this?

Appreciate fast and helpful answers thanks.,Hey guys,

so I have this problem where I am able to move my player with the virtual joystick I implemented but when I change the direction - via the joystick - the player still moves a little bit into the direction it was moving before, ergo it does not move directly into the new direction. How can I fix this problem so that at the exact time I change the direction with the joystick my player moves directly into the direction I want without moving a little bit into the direction before (looks like he's slowing down).

Appreciate fast and helpful answers, thanks.
