How to make Player rotate relative to the Camera

I'm trying to make my player rotate relative to the camera, it moves properly but it just doesn't rotate properly.

This is the Script:

Code (CSharp):

1. void Update()
2.    {
3.        // get the horizontal and vertical inputs
4.        float horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * maxSpeed;
5.        float vertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * maxSpeed;
6.      
7.        Vector3 camF = cam.forward;
8.        Vector3 camR = cam.right;
9.        camF.y = 0;
10.        camR.y = 0;
11.        camF = camF.normalized;
12.        camR = camR.normalized;
13.      
14.        transform.position += (camF*vertical + camR*horizontal)*Time.deltaTime*5;
15.      
16.        // set our velocity based on our inputs
17.        rig.velocity = new Vector3(horizontal, rig.velocity.y, vertical);
18.        rig.velocity = (transform.forward * Input.GetAxis("Vertical")) + (transform.right * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"));
19.      
20.        // create a copy of our velocity variable and
21.        // set the y axis to be 0
22.        Vector3 vel = rig.velocity;
23.        vel.y = 0;
24.      
25.        // if we're moving, rotate to face our moving direction
26.        if(vel.x != 0 || vel.z != 0)
27.        {
28.            transform.forward = vel;      
29.        }

 

Something like this? It seems that you are already rotating the camera, as you said that the camera is properly aligned. So I just copied the camera rotation. As an alternative, I added code to make the player face the velocity. You can pick either of these.

Code (CSharp):

1. void Update()
2. {
3.     // get the horizontal and vertical inputs
4.     float horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * maxSpeed;
5.     float vertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * maxSpeed;
6.  
7.     Vector3 velocity = (vertical * cam.forward + horizontal * cam.right) * 5;
8.  
9.     // alt 1
10.     transform.rotation = cam.rotation;
11.  
12.     // alt 2
13.     transform.LookAt(transform.position + velocity);
14.  
15.     // Apply the change in position based on velocity.
16.     transform.position += velocity * Time.deltaTime;
17. }
18.  

 

If you're talking about rotating player input to be relative to camera heading, you're welcome to look at the DemoCameraRotatedControls scene in my proximity buttons package.

Oh ok, thank you

 

The transform.rotation one works but he can't go down anymore, only vertical and horizontal.

 

Actually, Im not sure if that's from your script or if its just like that. For some reason he falls really slowly. I mustve done something wrong. It was working fine last time I used it!?

 

Actually, the tranform.LookAt one seems to work fine. Thanks.
