D&D 5e does not distinguish a difference between straight or diagonal for movement or attacks. So 30′ is 6 squares whether diagonal, straight, or a combination. While this is not strictly true the game tries to stick with simplified rules and a “ what’s good for the goose is good for the gander,” approach.

How do you attack a range in 5e?
A ranged attack at face-value is no different than any other attack in D&D 5e. You simply roll 1d20 and add your ability modifier and proficiency modifier to the result of the roll as required. For most ranged weapon attacks the ability modifier you’ll use will be your Dexterity modifier.
How is attack to hit 5e calculated?
When attacking with a weapon, your bonus to hit is equal to your proficiency modifier plus your ability modifier (so at level 1, your proficiency modifier is +2, you said your strength is +3, so the total bonus is +5 – what D&Dbeyond is showing you). Your bonus to damage is just your strength bonus, so it’s +3.

How does diagonal movement work in DND 5e?
History of Diagonal Movement in D&D In ages past, diagonal movement in D&D followed the 1-2-1-2 Rule. Under this rule, your first diagonal movement only cost you one space (5 feet). Your third would cost one space (5 feet) again, then your fourth would cost two spaces (10 feet), ad nauseam.
What happens when you make a ranged attack in close combat?
When you make a ranged attack while in close combat, “you have disadvantage on the attack roll if you are within 5 feet of a hostile creature who can see you and who isn’t incapacitated.” In other words, you have disadvantage when you make a ranged attack if there are any hostile creatures within 5 feet of you.
Why do ranged weapons in D & D List two numbers?
For instance, the light crossbow lists “80/320”. As far as I know, you can use a ranged weapon at a range between 5 feet and its full range without being at disadvantage. I know that the second number – in this case, 320 – is how far it can shoot, but what is the first number for?
When does an attack roll have a disadvantage?
Your attack roll has disadvantage when your target is beyond normal range, and you can’t attack a target beyond the long range. So for the example you give, a range of “80/320” means you can attack normally out to 80 feet, and with disadvantage from 80 to 320 feet.
When do you have a disadvantage with a ranged weapon?
In other words, you have disadvantage when you make a ranged attack if there are any hostile creatures within 5 feet of you. That hostile creature might be the creature you’re aiming your ranged attack at, but it might not be.
