Hi @Sandy,
Thank you for the suggestions.
The only real issue I am stuck with is the moving on local axis when parented. As you stated in (2.), setting the value in x axis moves in local z direction. But if I then rotate the player and try again, it does not move on its local axis anymore.
It is this issue that I am referring to. And it needs to be fixed ASAP. The workaround posted by @Simonrazer in that thread also does not work.
Best regards,
QC
