anyone know how to move the character on the terrain wich relative to the camera...

* i mean how to move the character when i hold UP KEY an then the character will move up (the screen) depend on the camera view... ex: LOTR - return of the King (PC)

Maybe something like this: use entityroll of the camera:

if key
x=x+sin(roll+key*90)
y=y+cos(roll+key*90)
endif

...just an idea

maybe use TFormVector?


speed#=1

;for up:
TFormVector 0,0,speed#,camera,0

TranslateEntity player,Tformedx(),Tformedy(),Tformedz()

How about just rotating the character to the same z-rotation as the camera.

you mean like in mario, zelda and every other 3d platformer too, using tformvector is the way, i wrote loads of functions to do different methods of turning and pointing but tformvector is always the easiest and simplest to understand.

looks TFormVector is really the answer... can put some demo how efficiently use this please? like moving a box on a plane or something...
