When I shoot diagonally up and right/left at the same time, the shoot doesn't work, how do I solve this problem?

I’ve started recently with Godot, and I’m trying to create a spaceship, but when I shoot, it doesn’t work when I shoot diagonally up and right or diagonally up and down.

extends Node2D

const PRE_LASER = preload("res://scenes/laser.tscn")

var vel = 60


func _ready():
    	pass

func _process(delta): 
	var dirX = 0
	var dirY = 0

   	 if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"):
		dirX += -1
		
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right"):
		dirX += 1
		
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_down"):
		dirY += 1
		
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_up"):
		dirY += -1

    if  Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_accept"):
		if get_tree().get_nodes_in_group("lasers").size() < 3:
			var laser = PRE_LASER.instance()
			get_parent().add_child(laser)
			laser.global_position = $blaster.global_position

translate(Vector2(dirX,dirY) * vel * delta)

global_position.x = clamp(global_position.x,21,139)
global_position.y = clamp(global_position.y,24,268)

What exactly doesn’t work? Do the lasers not appear?

Yes, exactly.

And it’s fine when you’re shooting in any other direction?

I’m sorry for taking too long to answer. The only directions it does not work is diagonal up and down, both to the right. The other directions work perfectly.
