Summary

I'm trying to make stairs that are at a side-on view. I have some tiles that achieve this look, but I cannot figure out how to make the player ascend or descend stairs going horizontally across the map. The tiles for the stairs (for example going up and left) go up one tile for every time they go left one tile. But I don't want to have the player go up stairs by pressing up, left, up, left, up, left... I just want them to be able to hold left...

I'm not sure if I'm overlooking something simple, but I can't figure it out, and so far I haven't found anything by searching. The stairs can't just go across and not go up, which is all I've yet to find examples of, as the rest of the map needs to descend away as there will be another hall at the top of the stairs.
