Apply velocity in direction your facing (including up)

Is this related to your other posts? Your request seems in direct contradiction to this one, where you ask for movement to only affect the z axis, and seems like you’ve almost succeeded.

Velocity issues

Godot 4 I am trying to find a way to make this work on only the z axis and not affect the rest of the velocity velocity = global_transform.basis.z * -SPEED currently its affecting all velocity and I only want it to affect the Z axis, any questions can likely be answered

If it’s not then you can remove .z to apply the speed in any direction forward-facing and fix the type issue. It may need to be negative since forward is negative z.

velocity = -camera.basis.z * SPEED

but I think we’ve been here before too

3d applying velocity in direction

The unary negation operator - is always applied left-most -camera.basis.z. Your camera may have a different transform than the characterbody, if you only rotate the camera then yes use camera.basis, but if you use a parent rotation as part of the camera you might need to use the global transform instead through camera.global_basis. For example most first-person controllers rotate the characterbody around the y axis, and rotate the child camera around the x axis. However most first person contro…
