Instead of the default tank controls for "Object or Person controlled by keyboard" (where up and down move forward and backward in the direction you face, and left and right turn your direction only), I'm trying to get a character that moves in 4 directions and combination of them. So instead of left or right arrow keys turning the character only, I want them to move him.

I tried several things already- setting a "When a key is pressed" action that moves the character left or right, but I can't get it to work like in an actual 3D game. It either always goes in the same direction, regardless of where the camera is facing (so it would go forward or backward or right when hitting the left key), or seems to just go forward or backward.

How do you make it where the left and right keys will make a character go in those directions, relative to how he looks in the game view? Not absolute directions etc. Setting it relative to the camera didn't work.
