So according to GM Studio, "tan(45)" returns the amount of 1.62 when its supposed to return the result of 1. Is this a bug or have I neglected a common issue :S

I'm pretty sure that the trigonometric functions take angles measured in radians. Try "tan(pi/4)".

gave a result of 1. so does that mean i should convert my degrees to radians before i input them into the tan function?

That's correct. Luckily, there's a function to do that for you. Your code would look something like:
variable = tan(degtorad(45));
