I have an object that I would usually move by adding to its position vector. If I wanted to move it forward, I’d add to its position vector’s Z value. If I want to move it backward, I’d “subtract” from its Z value and so on. I'm in a situation now were I need to move the object forward based on the camera’s looking direction. If the camera is looking left then I need to subtract from the objects position vector’s X value, etc...
To calculate the position, I thought I’d simply put the position of the object into a new vector3, add to it’s z value like before, and then transform that vector by the view matrix and then set the object's position vector to the new vector3- however, this is not working as expected.
How can I transform my move (position) vector based off the camera’s looking direction?
