I have movement figured out with wasd keys but now I need my character to face direction of travel, the camera is a child of character in a top down view and the camera is fine how it is. please help, I honestly thought there would be more tutorials on this Diablo 3/ pokemon lets go style of movement but all i find is snippets of chopped up information. I’ve been playing around with Transform.basis a bit but get so close only to be missing crucial parts of the script. Please help
On the Spatial node (or whichever node) which has to be rotated, have you tried something like node.basis.rotated( Vector3(0, 1, 0), phi), where “phi” is by how much you want the node turned? I found the function here, btw.

I’m trying to use my camera coordinates as a reference to transform my characters direction if i can’t get it to work , i’ll try using phi method you mentioned above. cheers

I got it to work, via camera basis, *crying in joy, spent the last week trying to figure that out, I need to put out a video for people trying the same thing, thanks for the reply though everything helps. this stuff aint easy for Newbs.

I was trying to do something similar. But I got stuck on the move_and_slide() function.

probs a simpler way of doing it but this is what i have.
extends KinematicBody
var gravity = -10
var velocity = Vector3()
var camera
var character
const SPEED = 8
const ACCELERATION = 15
const DE_ACCELERATION = 15
func _ready():
camera = get_node("Camera").get_global_transform()
character = get_node("Sam000")
func _physics_process(delta):
var dir = Vector3()
var is_moving = false
if Input.is_action_pressed("forward"):
dir += -camera.basis[2]
is_moving = true
if Input.is_action_pressed("backward"):
dir += camera.basis[2]
is_moving = true
if Input.is_action_pressed("left"):
dir += -camera.basis[0]
is_moving = true
if Input.is_action_pressed("right"):
dir += camera.basis[0]
is_moving = true
dir.y = 0
dir = dir.normalized()
velocity.y += delta * gravity
var hv = velocity
hv.y = 0
var new_pos = dir * SPEED
var accel = DE_ACCELERATION
if (dir.dot(hv) > 0):
accel = ACCELERATION
hv = hv.linear_interpolate(new_pos,accel*delta)
velocity.x = hv.x
velocity.z = hv.z
if is_moving:
var angle = atan2(hv.x,hv.z)
var char_rot = character.get_rotation()
char_rot .y = angle
character.set_rotation(char_rot)
var speed = hv.length() /SPEED
velocity = move_and_slide(velocity,Vector3.UP)
