Godot player not walking in the direction - godot

Question

So I am new to godot and I was having a problem. The players body doesnt follow the camera when the camera moves When I look around with the camera the players body stays the same e.g. if i use wasd if i turn to the right it would be aswd. the player movement is hard but i got help. if you could help that will be super cool, i am just trying to learn coding. this is hard for me.
p.s sorry for the bad grammar

If you want the movement to be based on the orientation of camera...
Then base the movement:
var direction = Vector3.ZERO
if Input.is_action_pressed("move_right"):
direction.x += 1
if Input.is_action_pressed("move_left"):
direction.x -= 1
if Input.is_action_pressed("move_back"):
direction.z += 1
if Input.is_action_pressed("move_forward"):
direction.z -= 1
On the orientation of the camera.
We will use camera.global_transform.basis. The basis of a transform gives us a set of vectors that are aligned to the axis of the transformed space.
Using camera.transform instead of camera.global_transform will NOT work, because the Camera is a child of the KinematicBody.
Then your code ends up like this:
var direction = Vector3.ZERO
var camera_x = camera.global_transform.basis.x
var camera_z = camera.global_transform.basis.z
if Input.is_action_pressed("move_right"):
direction += camera_x
if Input.is_action_pressed("move_left"):
direction -= camera_x
if Input.is_action_pressed("move_back"):
direction += camera_z
if Input.is_action_pressed("move_forward"):
direction -= camera_z
