How do you move around an object with WASD?

I have a character and a bunch of other meshes around it parented to an empty.

I’ve placed a camera behind it and parented it to the empty as well. I want to be able to use WASD to fly the entire contraption around, like I would in fly navigation, to make it easier to film my scene.

I can’t parent everything to the camera instead of the empty because it is tilted down so I won’t be able to move it straight forward with “W”.

Hey!

Try Shift+Tilde buttons, and then you should be able to use WASD to move your camera. While moving, you can alse speed up a bit by holding shift

Oh I know how to do fly navigation. That’s not what I’m asking. I’m wondering if I can do it for something other than a camera.

You could map a joystick with add route addon with osc messages.
Then map your values to whatever you want with drivers.

Good luck
