Help moving forward/away from camera

[nyx]

I'd like to always be able to move the character forward/up when I press up on the joystick and while using the right stick to rotate the camera around. So if I move the camera behind it and press up it will go up instead of sometimes having to press down depending on the camera's position. Instead, whenever the player stops if I press forward it will immediately snap around 180 and go toward the direction that the camera was originally at. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks in advance!

That's the mechanic of the most popular third-person games these days, do you have any reference of the behavior you want?

Fallout New Vegas for example. Is there a way to get the camera to rotate with the player to turn using the right stick and the left stick moves back and forth and strafes?

Yes, check the option RotateWithCamera in the Strafe Locomotion

That wasn't working, which is probably due to how I had everything set up. I inserted the third person character prefab and had been using the freelook camera from Standard Assets, but I then replaced that with the TPCamera from Invector attached to a camera rig. I then found the TPCamera prefab in the example scene (but could not otherwise find it in assets) and copied that over. I still couldn't get it to do free rotate, but I made some changes to the code and it no longer flips the character around so I can move the camera and turn at the same time (but it still will not rotate with camera.) What is the correct way to set up the camera?

It's probably a good idea to create a new clean project, import a fresh template and create a new character. The camera is automatically created as well you just need to assign a TpCameraListData
