Hello. I want to make a map where it's 3rd person and you control a plane and fly around trying to shoot the other planes. But I was wondering how would I make a trigger so if I press the down key the plane starts to go down, if I press up it starts to fly up, and left/right and it turns left/right.

Well, it looks like this question is somewhat a movements through key. Maybe this is helpful and somewhat related to your question. But I dont know for the plane but really try this: Movement System through Keys

Yeah, it is indeed something like that.

I opened a dusty old map of mine (arrowkey-movement system) and added a Z-axis to it (which is exactly the same as XY-movement, but then vertically :D).
It's nowhere near the level of FlightSim, but it's just a lightweight system.
Can be modified a little bit in the trigger "Init", I hope this is what you need.
