wait: so when you press a button and release it, it keeps moving in that direction?

super easy. When button pressed, set velocity in given direction. make sure theres no friction happening.

#

something like this:


var input = Input.getAxis
if input.magnitude > 0
  #it means the player wants to change direction
  velocity = input * speed```

This code isnt legit but its the correct idea. I just noticed youre in 3D. The idea should still be transferrable

#

Make sure gravity is turned off as well
