Your question was moved to the moderation queue and a moderator has rejected your question since it's quality level is way beyond our threshold. The question wasn't clear, important information was missing and it looks like a pure debugging question. This is a Q&A site for game developers. It seems you just use premade code which you probably don't understand and want us to fix your issues, or in other words you want us to write your code.
Please read those rules, especially the reasons why a question / post may be rejected.
I also highly recommend to read the FAQs
You're starting to sound like a broken record you poor fellow, LOL someones gotta set the newbies straight though.
one thing i’d like to add to mr bunnys answer! time is essential on UA. you can not expect to have a answer postum, sometimes it’s luck that someone see’s your question and have knowledge about it sometimes it’s not and your question will be unaswered for sometime. so follow the rules for a good question, and look up if there isn’t a similar question which answers your problem
Any Q can also be moved into the HelpRoom. That's better than rejecting. If it's not written well, anyone can comment on how to improve it. There's no pressure on moderators to explain before deleting it. And new users get so mad at deleted Q's which were "about Unity".
Right, if I can see the OP has put some efford into his question but it actually is "too basic" I always move it into the help room. However if the question is poorly written, extremely unspecific, is missing important details or just too short (one sentence questions) so there's no way to answer the question without starting a discussion and countless counter questions, I happily reject such questions. As dan said, it's just wasing our all time. If someone isn't willing to invest some of his time to write a proper question, he can't expect anyone to invest time to try to answer "a dropped brain fart" :)
It's actually quite sad that actually good written questions are rarely voted up. On StackOverflow you find questions with 1k+ upvotes. The Unity community seems to be a bit "special". It's kinda frustrating how many people do not know or understand how a Q&A site works. I haven't checked the recent numbers, but a few years ago we had about 100 new users every day. Unity Answers still does a bad job at explaining how to use this site. I never recommend the site navigation guide as it's a mess. To me almost all changes that has happend here on UA has made it worse. I don't get why they removed all highlighting of seperate posts. Now everything is just a big chunk of text and with long questions, answers, comments you have trouble identifying where which post starts / ends. The vote buttons are still on the left side but the accept button is now below the answer. In the past it was below the vote buttons.
The worst recent change was that they broke the markdown renderer which completely breaks the structure and rendering of all content here, including their own pages like the site navigation guide as well as the FAQs. Paragraphs do no longer have any spaces in between them. Bulletpoint or numbered list are no longer indented. Just compare my I$$anonymous$$GUI crash course post, with how it used to look like. This is a one-to-one copy.
I'm getting off-topic ... ^^
The OP's question "Why does ethan turn?" is a good example of the system working. It's unanswerable, but it was published. That let a normal user, defDefy with 890 Rep, add a need-to-see-code comment. No moderators involved, no angry posting to $$anonymous$$ETA.
$$anonymous$$y theory is that Unity completely pulled-out of UA 3 years ago. UA was great to get Unity established, but the site was groaning under new users, AND Unity was moving to providing their own paid support and they only had 1 very part-timer as a mod. So they pay the 3rd party to keep it up, and do nothing else. There's probably an unread in-box somewhere with fixes. Navigation, the FAQ ... is in a 1/2-done state since that's the way it was when they pulled out.
