Sorry for the lack of details in the title, the reason for that is that I don't know a short way of how to explain the problem I want to solve. Here's some context: I'm making a 3D platformer game where my player is a sphere that rolls and jumps around. I've already got in an orbital camera, the controls work fine and everything, but the method I use to move my player around is AddForce.
Problem:
This becomes a problem when I hold down both the W and the D key, it's applying the same speed unit to both the x and the z axis, which is actually causing my sphere to move faster diagonally rather than laterally. I've included a bit of a diagram at the bottom of what's happening versus what I'm trying to get to happen:
For the purposes of simplicity, let's only add forces of 1 unit. Let the green arrow represent the force being applied.
