Calculating movement
So, i now have a camera that is able to: move forward / back / left / right / turnleft / turnright. My problem is this situation...
Say the user turns the camera to the left or right then wants to move forward based on were the camera is pointing. He pushes the key to move forward, but instead of the camera moving forward based were the camera is pointing, it moves forward into the z-axis. This is a obviously bug / flaw / whatever you want to call it and i have some questions on how to fix this.
Would the easiest way to do this is to *somehow* calculate were the camera is poiting at, then calculate that into A translation?
heres my code on how im moving my camera
Thanks, fitfool

Simple. Build a rotation matrix for your camera, then multiply the point {0, 0, z, 0} by it, where z is the speed that you want your camera to move forwards. Then add the resulting vector with your camera's position.
