How To Make Character Move In Direction Its Facing

[theunsgk]

Hi, so I made a script to make the character to move just in x and z axis’. But now that I want it to move in the direction it facing I dont know how to do it. All the questions online have less complicated scripts.

Thanks, Theuns

transform.forward gives you the blue axis direction, so can use it for moving,
maybe something like:
rb.velocity = tranform.forward * currentSpeed;

Could also use GetAxis stuff to easily access movement values (it returns -1 to 1 values, or 0 if not pressing the key)

Unity - Scripting API: Input.GetAxis

Thanks so much! “rb.velocity = transform.forward * currentSpeed” works! It works perfectly as far as I can see!
