The movements of my character

I’m new to Unreal Engine and I’m currently following a guide on movement, I have one problem that I can’t find an answer to here or on the internet. When I press a movement key, it doesn’t just go where the player is currently but to a fixed point in the level, pressing left just does a 90 degree turn though I expected it to just move left. How can I fix this so that the player can move without looking in a different direction.

Here’s a link to what I’m experiencing : https://youtu.be/PMYCC7XJVmM

Post script responsible for movement as the video contradicts description. We seem to be moving using camera vectors inheriting control rotation, rather than towards a fixed world coordinate.

Is this what you’re after:

I wanted to remove the topic before because I did find a way to correct this and this was indeed the solution, but thanks for the help!
