    How can I rotate my player to the right (90 degrees) in a way that my "W" key (walk forward) would still apply with respect to the players rotation?

    What happens right now is when I rotate my player to the right, I need to press "D" to look like it is moving forward.

    What code are you using to rotate your character & move it at the moment?

    transform.forward is always the forward direction of the transform.

    So the easy way to do it is to say something like transform.position+=(transform.forward*Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"))*Time.deltaTime (If you're using Update)

    Though it's probably a better idea to make a new Vector3() and do all the movement calculations to that, then move the transform using that
