Move an object forward and not up?

Questions & Answers

I need to move an object in the direction its looking but only on the X and Z axis not the Y. I am currently using:

float h = (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") / moveScale) * sprinting;
        float v = (Input.GetAxis("Vertical") / moveScale) * sprinting;

        gameObject.transform.localPosition += transform.right * h;
        gameObject.transform.localPosition += transform.forward * v;

And it works ok, but if my rotation is facing upwards i move up and i dont want that to happen, i just want to move horizontal.

I think you can just do this:

float h = (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") / moveScale) * sprinting;
float v = (Input.GetAxis("Vertical") / moveScale) * sprinting;
 
gameObject.transform.localPosition += transform.right * h * new Vector3 (1, 0, 1);
gameObject.transform.localPosition += transform.forward * v * new Vector3 (1, 0, 1);

Here I have multiplied the y value with 0 so it is always 0. Everything else should be normal.
