Camera based movement 3rd person game,Movement like in 3rd person games (camera based)
So I want to implement camera based movement in this function, but no tutorials really help me. I want to move like in all 3rd person games, if I look somewhere and press W character will move in that direction. Thanks in advance, if you will help me.
private void Movement()
{
float verticalAxis = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");//varies between 1 and -1
float horizontalAxis = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
//create a new vector
Vector3 updatedVector = new Vector3(horizontalAxis, 0.0f, verticalAxis);//new position that has been changed through axis
transform.LookAt(updatedVector + transform.position);//facing towards vector
animator.SetBool("Is_Running", true);//setting animator boolean
transform.Translate(updatedVector * speed * Time.deltaTime, Space.World);//actual movement
if(verticalAxis == 0 && horizontalAxis == 0)//if player doesn't move
{
animator.SetBool("Is_Running", false);
}
}
}
is there something like Space.World but for camera relative movement? like Space.Camera.

You can get world based camera directions from its transform and multiply it by your input, getting world based input directions.
Camera camera = Camera.main;
Vector3 cameraForward = Vector3.Scale(camera.forward, new Vector3(1, 0, 1)).normalized; // forward direction in 2d
Vector3 updatedVector = verticalAxis * cameraForward + horizontalAxis * camera.right; // right is already in the plane
As a tip, you could use a CharacterControler to handle movement, it will automatically handle collisions and slopes.
@GanemVisk Guess you meant camera.transform.forward, because camera.forward(or right) doesn't work.
