How to make WASD move build mode camera in correct direction according to player's view

i have a block which the camera moves with that the player moves with WASD keys and basically the block moves correctly and everything but when i press A it doesnt move left it goes right. basically it moves a different direction according to the orientation of the player’s plot. how do i make it move in the correct direction?

here is the code for when the a key is pressed for example:

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
	while userInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.A) do
		newPos.Value = Vector3.new(newPos.Value.X - 1, newPos.Value.Y, newPos.Value.Z)
	    task.wait(interval)
	end
end

I’m pretty sure it’s with number, try to make it positive one instead of negative one.

local leftDirection = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame:PointToWorldSpace(Vector3.new(-1, 0, 0)) - workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame:PointToWorldSpace(Vector3.new(0, 0, 0))
leftDirection = leftDirection.Unit

Using .Unit could help? Example above.

Can you show me the script that you are using to change the position?

its not very efficient i’m gonna improve it once i get it working, i did what u said and changed it so the positive and negatives are correct, it now moves the correct position but only when the plot has a certain orientation. i have a separate script that moves a block, when the newpos value updates, then when the block moves the camera moves with it, i know its not efficient but it’s just so i can visualize it

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local lot = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Lots"):WaitForChild(player.Name)
local lapModel = lot:WaitForChild("LookAtPoint")
local opBlock = lot:WaitForChild("OverheadPoint")
local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local newPos = script.Parent:WaitForChild("NewCamPos")
newPos.Value = Vector3.new(opBlock.Position.X,opBlock.Position.Y,opBlock.Position.Z)

local interval = .05

userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if gameProcessed then return end
	
	-- if build gui visible
	if script.Parent.Visible == true then

		-- w
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
			while userInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.W) do
				newPos.Value = Vector3.new(newPos.Value.X, newPos.Value.Y, newPos.Value.Z + 1)
				task.wait(interval)
			end
		end

		-- a
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
			while userInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.A) do
				newPos.Value = Vector3.new(newPos.Value.X + 1, newPos.Value.Y, newPos.Value.Z)
				task.wait(interval)
			end
		end

		-- s
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.S then
			while userInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.S) do
				newPos.Value = Vector3.new(newPos.Value.X, newPos.Value.Y, newPos.Value.Z - 1)
				task.wait(interval)
			end
		end

		-- d
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
			while userInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.D) do
				newPos.Value = Vector3.new(newPos.Value.X - 1, newPos.Value.Y, newPos.Value.Z)
				task.wait(interval)
			end
		end

	end
end)

Try

newPos.Value = newPos.Value + Vector3.new(-1, 0, 0)
