Struggling with Rotation based off camera Oritentation

Unity Engine
1

So I’m struggling with a the idea of how to go about creating my controller for my latest project where I have the mouse controlling the camera’s orbit around the player. But I want my characters controls with both horizontal and vertical to be based off the current orientation. The problem is I’m having a super brain fart on this and not coming up with anything. I started a basic code like so:

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    float moveSpeed = 2f;

    void Update()
    {
        transform.Translate (new Vector3 (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")*moveSpeed*Time.deltaTime, 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical")*moveSpeed*Time.deltaTime));
       
    }
}

This obviously is just getting the movements of the player but on a basic local axis. So what I’m thinking I need to do is do this based off the camera’s axis instead. But not really sure how to go about it.

Best way to do these sorts of things is with a parented stack of gameObjects.

To think of the problem, think of it like your wrist: one game object (your forearm bones) would rotate your hand as if opening a doorknob, and then the gameObject below it (your actual wrist) would make a hammering motion.
