This question was self-answered once the OP figured out what the problem was, however, the solution was pretty much "oh, whoops, I just mucked it up".
made it work, it turns out my controller pressed maybe both up and left when i pressed up, which made the code not work but i've found a way!
While yes, it answers the question, specifically the OP's problem, it's a terrible answer. What should we do with it?
Downvote the answer and move on.
It's a bad answer, and the question isn't great, (I downvoted it. Whether you do so is on you.) but it does have a good answer that Makes The Internet Better. So upvote the good answer, downvote the bad answer, and don't worry about it beyond that.
If it answers the questions, but you think it's a terrible answer, then just downvote it. Downvoting is the proper course to take when dealing with low-quality answers.
