How can I make the character walk based on the camera angle instead of the world axis? Is there a way to achieve this using the current pre-built scripts?
# Get the input direction and handle the movement/deceleration.
var input_dir := Input.get_vector("left", "right", "forward", "backward")
var direction := (transform.basis * Vector3(input_dir.x, 0, input_dir.y)).normalized()
if direction:
velocity.x = direction.x * SPEED
velocity.z = direction.z * SPEED
else:
velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, SPEED)
velocity.z = move_toward(velocity.z, 0, SPEED)

If your camera is a child of this object then you could try using $Camera3D.global_basis instead of transform.basis
How are you rotating the character in the script?

You could add a type to your camera here and use the variable instead of the node path
@onready var camera3d := $Camera3D as Camera3D

Camera3D is a type, your variable is camera3d with no capital letters. The editor paints types as teal, where most variables are white.
If you are on a version lower than 4.3 try camera3d.global_transform.basis

im on godot 4.3 stable version, i tried with no capital letters and this is the result… “Cannot infer the type of “direction” variable because the value doesn’t have a set type.”

Of which I’m betting your camera3d declaration is untyped. Another way to fix this error is to remove the colon, this will remove auto complete for the direction variable, or explicitly declare the type.
var direction = etc... # no type (how your camera3d is)
var direction := etc... # infering type (currently erroring)
var direction: Vector3 = etc... # explicit type

Your error says it cannot infer the type of “direction” because part of the equation does not have a type. That would be camera3d, you could make camera3d an explicit type, as I suggested first, or avoid trying to type direction by removing the colon (:) in it’s declaration.
