I’ve migrated the 3rd person character and its assets over to my other environment and changed the camera position so it matches with the character’s head, however, when moving, the camera goes haywire and the player can not move left or backwards, I use WASD to move but both W & S move the character forward and A & D move it only right. I’ve gone into the project settings and added under the input area the controls to move left and backwards but it doesn’t work, does anyone have an idea as to why this is happening and how can I fix it.
