How to move player according to where camera is facing.
hey, I would like to know how you can move the player according to where the camera is facing, I can move the player and make the camera "look" but when I press the forward key which is W to move the player forward while I'm facing right the character will move left to where I'm look , if that makes sense. and I don't want to use the standard assets I want to do it by scratch..if it's still not clear ill give another example,
so I moved forward by pressing W but then I look right by moving my mouse right and I try and move forward in that position but I don't instead I move left in that position since left would be forward. my scripts:
//really simple movement script , nothing complicated, this script snippet is from a script called player
void Update () {
Vector3 moveInput = new Vector3 (Input.GetAxisRaw ("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxisRaw ("Vertical"));
Vector3 moveVelocity = moveInput.normalized * moveSpeed;
controller.Move (moveVelocity);
my other script which had the method "move()":
//this script is called player controller and it has the move function which the player script calls. the bottom of the script is the actual movement
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;
[RequireComponent (typeof (Rigidbody))] public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour {
Vector3 velocity;
Rigidbody myRigidbody;
void Start () {
myRigidbody = GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();
}
public void Move(Vector3 _velocity) {
velocity = _velocity;
}
public void LookAt(Vector3 lookPoint) {
Vector3 heightCorrectedPoint = new Vector3 (lookPoint.x, transform.position.y, lookPoint.z);
transform.LookAt (heightCorrectedPoint);
}
void FixedUpdate() {
myRigidbody.MovePosition (myRigidbody.transform.localPosition + velocity * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
}
} I really hope someone can help , thank you, btw its a top down/ first person shooter thank you again.
