It is possible that I might just be dense, but I'm looking to make a movement system similar to that of SAS4 (a game by ninja kiwi) where moving forward moves you towards the camera. I tried 8 direction movement, but as far as I can tell that doesn't seem to be a solution, and custom movement does not seem to be able to do it easily either, at least not without large amounts of unnecessary events. Could someone with a bit more experience than me, or just a better understanding help me out here? If more information is needed, I am happy to supply.
That game looks like 8-direction with weapon aim following mouse cursor, the camera is on the player, in Construct it's called Scroll To behaviour.

Thanks for the help, also it seems I misremembered how the movement worked in that game, for some reason I thought that if you held W, you would move toward the cursor. The scroll to thing definitely helps though, thank you
