what should I do?

Don’t place a screenshot of your code, use a CODE tag instead. It’s described in the topic at the very top:

Using code tags properly

If you see someone who needs to know about code tags, please link them to this post: Please use code tags when posting code. You can "tag" your code by typing [984347--130826--Screenshot 2015-03-16 10.33.58.png] around your code. There is no overt "Code" tag button that automatically tags a selection as code. That being said, however, we can Insert code directly into the post using the "Insert Code" button: [image] This will bring up an "Insert" window were we can paste our code and c…

Does it still happen if you remove the offset?

yes it still don’t work and I just found out that when I move my character It turns properly but when I stay still I wouldn’t move

This line of code:

transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, rotZ+ offset);

You are setting the rotation every frame, whether the mouse is moving or not. So when the mouse stops moving, the rotation is going to snap back to (0,0,offset) regardless of where it was.
