How to move the Player in Its facing direction?

[tidal latch]

How can i move the player without moving it in the direction The camera's facing?

[red orchid]

like teleport?

prob changing HumanoidRootPart's cframe

with lookvector

[tidal latch]

no

[red orchid]

oh cameras

uhhh

[tidal latch]

like when you move

it moves in the directon of the camera

how do i make it move in the direction the player's facing

[red orchid]

uh

no idea unless u just use runservice and camera type scriptable

to just keep updating it

[tidal latch]

I have this script but the controls are inversed

RunService:BindToRenderStep("TankMovement", Enum.RenderPriority.Character.Value + 1, function()
            local character = player.Character
            if character then
                local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
                local hrp = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

                if humanoid and hrp then
                    local input = Controls:GetMoveVector()
                    if input.Magnitude > 0 then
                        -- Just pass the local vector, and useCameraRelative = true means HRP-relative
                        humanoid:Move(input, false)
                    else
                        humanoid:Move(Vector3.zero, false)
                    end
                end
            end
        end)

[red orchid]

so wait am bit lost what u wanna do

[tidal latch]

when i press W instead of moving the player in the camera's direction, move it in the direction the character is facing

like this kinda

[red orchid]

so basically like stuck in shiftlock?

is that what u want

i cant explain well

but uh

u could try smth with .LookAt

of Cframe

[tidal latch]

kinda but you can still move the camera with shiftLock

[red orchid]

to get where its looking

[red orchid]

couldnt u like, take control over WASD

and

[tidal latch]

in the vid it works its just inversed

[red orchid]

when W, just hum:MoveTo to LookAt*2

ohhh

i see

[tidal latch]

it uses runservice and Humanoid:Move

RunService:BindToRenderStep("TankMovement", Enum.RenderPriority.Character.Value + 1, function()
            local character = player.Character
            if character then
                local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
                local hrp = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

                if humanoid and hrp then
                    local input = Controls:GetMoveVector()
                    if input.Magnitude > 0 then
                        -- Just pass the local vector, and useCameraRelative = true means HRP-relative
                        humanoid:Move(input, false)
                    else
                        humanoid:Move(Vector3.zero, false)
                    end
                end
            end
        end)

[red orchid]

is just A and D swapped?

or all

[tidal latch]

all

[red orchid]

tbf if i was in this situation id just change input.X to -input.X

same with others

that should workkkk rightt

or am slow

[tidal latch]

hol up

what i did was change :Move(input) and put a - before input, but its going in the worlds direction

But

i dont think it would work otherwise

[red orchid]

no idea then sorry

[tidal latch]

i think your shift lock idea would be best ntit

since it doesnt change the player's rotation

[red orchid]

dont think it would work in your case tho

[tidal latch]

yea but in my actual game it changes this players camera to a part

[red orchid]

so camera is stuck?

[tidal latch]

a diff player moves it

[red orchid]

i see

[tidal latch]

kinda complicated

[red orchid]

maybe my first idea wouldnt be that bad

to

disable WASD functionality

and

if pressed W

then move in humanoidrootpart.CFrame.LookAt

[tidal latch]

i kinda tried this but once you try to go right it changes rotation

so it just spins the player

[red orchid]

huhh

[tidal latch]

since when you press D or A it changes orientation, it will change the humanoidRPart's rightvector and cause it to spin

one way i can think of is set the rightVector/Lookvector before the moving

[red orchid]

idk what u making but do u rly need it to turn when A/D?

cant u just make it look forward and just move in correct direction

so always looks one direction

[tidal latch]

well its not a 2d game

i dont care abt it turning only moving left and right

[red orchid]

no like

make it always look in specific direction

And W moves forward (based on lookvector)

S backwards again with lookvector

and A/D dont turn it, but make him move left/right

if u get what i mean

[tidal latch]

so like shiftLock?

[red orchid]

yeeee

just remembered how shiftworks work

tbf

💔

[tidal latch]

ill ask coding bacon abt it

thx

[idle scaffold]

Your can stop shiftlock by working by disabling autorotate property in the humanoid

probably will also fix the problem with rotating when your press w
