move character controller forward using gui button.

i am using the following script to control the character controller camera rotation (up,down,left , right).

i want to move my character forward and backward using gui button.

my character controller is not moving in my camera direction.

following is the code.
please check out the commented part of the script and let me know where and what is wrong in the script!!!

//WASD to orbit, left Ctrl/Alt to zoom
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

        if (angle > 360.0f)
            angle -= 360.0f;

}

Solved by myself

var cameraObject : GameObject; var curSpeed : float = 3.0f;

change this:

controller.Move(forward * Time.deltatime * curSpeed); to:

controller.Move(cameraObject.transform.forward * curSpeed);

and assign the camera you want to use to the variable in the inspector :slight_smile: hope this helps to whom who wants to move character controller using gui button :slight_smile:
