Player doesn't turn

Question

Hi there,

I'm using Unity tutorials to make a game and in t$$anonymous$$s part - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8O8Y6xP79w - I got issue because my player doesn't turn there where my mouse is. Here is my code for turning:

     void Turning()
     {
         Ray camRay = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
 
         RaycastHit floorHit;
 
         if(Physics.Raycast (camRay, out floorHit, camRayLenght, floorMask))
         {
             Vector3 playerToMouse = floorHit.point - transform.position;
             playerToMouse.y = 0f;
             Quaternion newRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(playerToMouse);
 
             playerRigidbody.MoveRotation(newRotation);
         }
     }

I was trying to find issue on my own and everyt$$anonymous$$ng I found as other people was fixing t$$anonymous$$s is that they either didn't have correct scale for quad w$$anonymous$$ch is floor - 100 x 100 x 1 - or they didn't have Z scale at least 1, usually they had 0 or layer of quad w$$anonymous$$ch is floor was set up to defalut instead floor. I've had all of these setting already but my player still does not turn where my mouse it. Any ideas?

That part of your script looks fine but watch the last 5 minutes of that tutorial. They mention that Awake and FixedUpdate and some other functions get called automatically but other functions, that you create, don't unless they're called. I t$$anonymous$$nk you're not calling

 Turning();

In FixedUpdate or there's a typo somewhere.

Of course I'm watching all tutorials and this thing I did already have written.

Btw here is all my code if you'd like to check everything:

 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public float speed = 6f;
     Vector3 movement;
     Animator anim;
     Rigidbody playerRigidbody;
     int floorMask;
     float camRayLenght = 100f;
 
     void Awake()
     {
         floorMask = LayerMask.GetMask("Floor");
         anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
         playerRigidbody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
     }
 
     void FixedUpdate()
     {
         float h = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
         float v = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
 
         Move(h, v);
         Turning();
         Animating(h, v);
 
     }
 
     void Move(float h, float v)
     {
         movement.Set(h, 0f, v);
         movement = movement.normalized * speed * Time.deltaTime;
         playerRigidbody.MovePosition(transform.position + movement);
     }
 
     void Turning()
     {
         Ray camRay = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
 
         RaycastHit floorHit;
 
         if(Physics.Raycast (camRay, out floorHit, camRayLenght, floorMask))
         {
             Vector3 playerToMouse = floorHit.point - transform.position;
             playerToMouse.y = 0f;
 
             Quaternion newRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(playerToMouse);
             playerRigidbody.MoveRotation(newRotation);
         }
     }
 
     void Animating(float h, float v)
     {
         bool walking = h != 0f || v != 0f;
         anim.SetBool("IsWalking", walking);
     }
 }

It's getting pretty late where I am so for clarification is movement other than turning working?
