Unity Diagonal Movement Not Working

Question

I want my player to move in diagonal directions and this is the code I am using to move in a down diagonal way:

 if (Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") > 0f && Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") < 0f)
 {
      front45 = true;
      rb.velocity = new Vector3(moveSpeed, -moveSpeed, 0f);
 }

however the rigidbody2d wont move in that direction. It will move up, down and from side to side, but never diagonal.

The front45 = true is just for the animator to know when to change animation.

Is your code successfully entering the if statement? ie. Is the problem with the particular conditions, or the velocity assignment? — Serlite
I tried the answer listed and it seems this did the trick. Because I had so many lines of code controlling the character, it could be I went somewhere wrong — user1145909

I would try something like this:

float h = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime;
float v = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime;

if (h != 0 && v != 0)
    front45 = true; //Not sure what this does, so I just left it inside the condition

rb.velocity = new Vector3(h * moveSpeed, v * moveSpeed, 0f);

This should work on any direction.
