how do i change the direction of my player using the camera's Y rotation

Question

if the camera's Y rotation = 0 then i want my player to move in the +Z direction, so how do i do this

its a 3-D game, I'm using Rigid Body to move my player, transform to rotate my camera. i can change the movement / rotation if needed to Rigid Body or Transform.

by the way i'm using c#.

         bean.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, camera.transform.eulerAngles.y, 0); 
         //locks the y-rotation of the GameObject 'bean' to the camera's y rotation
 
         transform.position = new Vector3(bean.transform.position.x, camera.transform.position.y, bean.transform.position.z); 
         //sets the camera's x and z position to the bean's x and z position

@Jonah-H This code snippet allows the camera to follow the player (but im guessing youve already done that part) and allows the player's y rotation to lock onto the camera's y rotation. Hope it helps.
