i have a ball in my level that you can control using the asdw keys and i would like to make the controls relative to the camera so that when you for example press w it wil move forward in the direction of the camera.
ive tried to use vec_rotate for this but the ball acts all weird when i do that. when i roll backwards the ball floats up in the air and when i roll forward the ball slams into the ground and other times the ball just moves really slow.
im guessing that the vector is pointing in a wrong direction but i cant figure out how to fix it.


Code:
var campan;
var camtilt = - 5;
var camx;
var camy;

while (1)
	{
		ball_force.x = (key_d-key_a)*30*time_step; 
		ball_force.y = (key_w-key_s)*30*time_step; 
		ball_force.z = 0; 
                vec_rotate (ball_force, camera.pan);
		pXent_addtorqueglobal (ball, vector(ball_force.x, 0, 0)); //spin the ball x axis
		pXent_addtorqueglobal (ball, vector(0, ball_force.y, 0)); // spin the ball y axis
		camera.x = ball.x - 500 * cos(-camx) * cos(camy); 
		camera.y = ball.y - 500 * sin(-camx) * cos(-camy); 
		camera.z = ball.z - 500 * sin(camy); 
		camera.pan = - campan;
		camera.tilt = - camtilt; 
		ball_move.x = (key_w-key_s)* 1400 * time_step;
		ball_move.y = (key_a-key_d)* 1400 * time_step;
                vec_rotate (ball_move, camera.pan);
		pXent_addforcecentral( ball, ball_move);
		camx = camx + mouse_force.x;
		camy = camy + mouse_force.y;
		campan = campan + mouse_force.x;
		camtilt = camtilt - mouse_force.y;
		wait (1);
	}
