Yes that's possible, I've already done it for our wallwalking, you just need to transform the input to the new orientation, then apply the player's input, and transform it back to world.
However, as I pointed out in an earlier topic, the real difficulty is to have the movement code oriented randomly. The movement is based on shapecasts, and in Source only axis-aligned box casts are possible. If you want to be able to walk on surfaces that are not axis-aligned, that introduces additional difficulties ( working on them as we 'speak' ). If you limit your movement to axis-aligned surfaces or do not wish to walk on surfaces in the new orientation, there's no difficulty really. -- Maarten > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > Hi!
