[Solved] How To Jump in the Direction of the Camera

[allenm]

I have a setup with a rotating camera (third person) and I’m trying to use an impulse in relation to the current camera angle. So the player can jump forwards/backwards/left or right depending on the buttons pressed.

I understand how to do this with a static camera but the changing direction of the camera/character has me confused.

What I need is the current X and Y vector of the camera or camera target mixed with whatever Z I want (the height of the jump.) How can I do this?

My movement setup.

[SOLVED] Jumping/Impulse with momentum using nodes

Check out the Vector From Transform node. You can get a vector representing the objects look direction. Then, if you wanted to have something move in the look direction, you can use the Vector Math node to multiply the Look direction by the speed you want it to move in that direction.

From the other thread. You can mark this as solved, sorry didn’t need two threads but it could end up being helpful to others.

Awesome thanks, vector from transform > look did the trick, this node setup jumps forward in relation to the camera/player.
