Top down camera moving via WASD keys help

I have been making a top down camera that can only move sideways(w for up, a for left, etc) and I got it working fine but maybe I got all my if statements off or used my logic of making wrong, but if you hold down w for example, and then a, I have it set to move a certain way. Instead, it either goes a weird way, sometimes stops, and is like twice the speed.

I have tried this way, and one where I had the base (if the key is held by itself) movement in an else, but that did not work either, so here’s the code I currently have:

function cameraMove(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
wPressed = true
buttonPressed = true
end
while wPressed do
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame + Vector3.new(-1,0,0)
end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame + Vector3.new(1,0,0)
end
cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,0,-1)
wait()
end

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
	aPressed = true	
	buttonPressed = true
end
while aPressed do
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
		cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,0,-1)
	end
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.S then
		cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,0,1)
	end
	cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame + Vector3.new(-1,0,0)
	wait()
end

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.S then
	sPressed = true	
	buttonPressed = true
end
while sPressed do
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
		cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame + Vector3.new(-1,0,0)
	end
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
		cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,0,1)
	end
	cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,0,1)
	wait()
end

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
	dPressed = true	
	buttonPressed = true
end
while dPressed do
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
		cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,0,-1)
	end
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.S then
		cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,0,1)
	end
	cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame + Vector3.new(1,0,0)
	wait()
end

end

function cameraStop()
buttonPressed = false
wPressed = false
aPressed = false
sPressed = false
dPressed = false
end
