In-Air movement relative to camera

Question

Hi!

I figured out how to make the player move while he's in the air.

I do it with this piece of code:

 Vector3 airMove = new Vector3(moveInput.x * 6f, m_Rigidbody.velocity.y, moveInput.z * 6f);
             m_Rigidbody.velocity = Vector3.Lerp(m_Rigidbody.velocity, airMove, Time.deltaTime * 2f);

Now how would I go about making it relative to the camera?

You could try attaching the camera directly to the player object. Also, standard assets might have a camera follow script in it.

The camera is already following my player. I want the movement to be relative to the camera so when I press W when I'm in the air i expect to go forward

Check out https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.AddRelativeForce.html

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 // Add a thrust force to push an object in its current forward
 // direction (to simulate a rocket motor, say).
 public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public float thrust;
     public Rigidbody rb;
     void Start()
     {
         rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
     }
 
     void FixedUpdate()
     {
         rb.AddRelativeForce(Vector3.forward * thrust);
     }
 }

I tried using AddRelativeForce but couldn't get it to work either. I want to be able to change the direction of the jump mid-air

Import the Character's package in Unity, and look at the FPSController.prefab and the RigidbodyFPSController.prefab.

Assets > Import Package > Characters

I think you are going about movement in the air the wrong way. It should work the same way on the ground as in the air unless you have your code not adding force while in the air.

If that doesn't help with your script, I suggest looking for a character controller tutorial on YouTube or your favorite search engine.
