2D touchScreen buttons wont work.

So I have been trying to code a game with touch functions, and i have been going through hourse of research and trial and error but it doesnt seem to ever work. I made 2 scripts first of which was the CharacterControls
and then TouchControls,

Character Controls Script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class CharacterControls : MonoBehaviour {
6.     public GameObject playerBullet;
7.     public GameObject FirePoint;
8.     public float moveSpeed;
9.     public float jumpHeight;
10.     private float moveVelocity;
11.  
12.     public Transform groundCheck;
13.     public float groundCheckRadius;
14.     public LayerMask whatIsGround;
15.     private bool grounded;
16.     private Animator anim;
17.     private float playersx;
18.     // Use this for initialization
19.     void Start () {
20.         anim = GetComponent<Animator> ();
21.         playersx = transform.localScale.x;
22.     }
23.  
24.     void FixedUpdate(){
25.         grounded = Physics2D.OverlapCircle (groundCheck.position, groundCheckRadius, whatIsGround);
26.     }
27.  
28.  
29.     // Update is called once per frame
30.     void Update () {
31.  
32.         anim.SetBool ("Grounded", grounded);
33.         #if UNITY_STANDALONE || UNITY_WEBPLAYER
34.         Move (Input.GetAxisRaw ("Horizontal"));
35.  
36.  
37.  
38.         if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1")) {
39.             GameObject bullet01 = (GameObject)Instantiate (playerBullet);
40.             bullet01.transform.position = FirePoint.transform.position;
41.         }
42.  
43.  
44.  
45.         if(Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space) && grounded)
46.             {          
47.             GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ().velocity = new Vector2(GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ().velocity.x, jumpHeight);
48.             }
49.         if(Input.GetKey (KeyCode.D))
50.         {          
51.             GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ().velocity = new Vector2(moveSpeed, GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ().velocity.y);
52.         }
53.         if(Input.GetKey (KeyCode.A))
54.         {          
55.             GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ().velocity = new Vector2(-moveSpeed, GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ().velocity.y);
56.         } #endif
57.  
58.         anim.SetFloat ("Speed", Mathf.Abs (GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ().velocity.x));
59.         if (GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ().velocity.x > 0)
60.             transform.localScale = new Vector3 (playersx, transform.localScale.y, transform.localScale.z);
61.         else if (GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ().velocity.x < 0)
62.             transform.localScale = new Vector3 (-playersx, transform.localScale.y, transform.localScale.z);
63.         }
64.  
65.  
66.     public void Move(float moveInput)
67.     {
68.         moveVelocity = moveSpeed * moveInput;
69.     }
70. }

TouchControls Script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5. public class TouchControls : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     private CharacterControls thePlayer;
8.  
9.     void Start(){
10.         thePlayer = FindObjectOfType<CharacterControls> ();
11.     }
12.     public void LeftArrow()
13.     {
14.         thePlayer.Move (-1);
15.     }
16.     public void RightArrow()
17.     {
18.         thePlayer.Move (1);
19.     }
20.     public void Stop(){
21.         thePlayer.Move (0);
22.     }
23. }

Please Help, Thanks to anyone who is able to help me out.

 

Does the keyboard version work?

If you put Debug.Log() inside those Left/Right arrow functions, does it get called?

One difference there could be that this line gets called inside update loop,
Move (Input.GetAxisRaw ("Horizontal"));

but maybe these line gets only called once per button click? (from where and how you are calling these left right calls?)
public void LeftArrow()
