Making player move based on direction they are facing
Currently my player moves in the same way when pressing W, A, etc... even if the direction they are facing changes. How do I make the players movement change with direction?
public float moveSpeed;
Vector3 moveInput;
public Rigidbody rb;
void Update ()
{
moveInput = new Vector3( Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") , 0 , Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") ).normalized;
}
void FixedUpdate ()
{
rb.velocity = new Vector3( (moveInput.x * moveSpeed) , rb.velocity.y , (moveInput.z * moveSpeed) );
}
Comment
You can use transform.forward
to get the direction that the object is facing.
