[C#] Movement Direction Change

Questions & Answers
1

Hello! I’m making an endless runner game, and it is made for the character to change directions of movement multiple times. And i got it to work to change the direction of the movement once but it doesn’t want to change multiple times. Please help me and be specific (write the code)
Here is the movement code:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    private CharacterController controller1;
    private float speed = 5.0f;
    private Vector3 direction = Vector3.right;

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start()
    {
        controller1 = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        controller1.Move(direction * Time.deltaTime * speed);       
        }
    }

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.gameObject.tag == "Turn") ;
        {
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 0);
            direction = Vector3.zero;
        }
        if (other.gameObject.tag == "Turn1") ;
        {
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0,90, 0);
           direction = Vector3.zero;
            Debug.Log("z");
        }
        if (other.gameObject.tag == "Turn2") ;
        {
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 180, 0);
            direction = Vector3.left;
        }
        if (other.gameObject.tag == "Turn3") ;
        {
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 270, 0);
              direction = Vector3.forward;
        }        
    }
}

It’s actually part of it. Please help me i can’t figure this out.
Thanks in advance.

*@Casiell * The error in the code is a copy paste mistake everything works in unity i set the tag as it should be and it turns the other way one time when it gets to the second trigger it doesn’t move i put a debug.log to check if the error isn’t in the code and it isn’t.

You tell your player to stop when he reaches "Turn" and "Turn1". It’s no surprise he stops there.
direction which is equal to Vector3.zero multiplied by Time.deltaTime and multiplied by speed will be the same Vector3.zero which means that you tell your player to move 0 units left, 0 units right, 0 units up…
It doesn’t matter what rotation you set, controller will move in the direction you set, not the rotation. Rotation could only rotate your character visuals, but actual moving is made by controller1.Move (direction);. Vector3.zero is a zero, when you multiply zero by any numbers it still will be zero. When you set direction to move controller to Vector3.zero controller will be moving in the direction zero with zero speed, so it won’t move actually.
