    I've been working on this scene for weeks and I haven't had this problem until now. I can't rotate my scene view or my in-game camera left or right. When I hold Alt/Opt to rotate it just wont go left or right and I also tried right click. I have tried closing and reopening unity and playing my game then stopping it. I need to get this fixed soon. please help

    Camera stuff is tricky. You may wish to consider using Cinemachine (a package from Unity) for your camera stuff.

    Alternately, to help gain more insight into your problem, I recommend liberally sprinkling Debug.Log() statements through your code to display information in realtime.

    Doing this should help you answer these types of questions:

    - is this code even running? which parts are running? how often does it run?
    - what are the values of the variables involved? Are they initialized?

    Knowing this information will help you reason about the behavior you are seeing.

    If you are running a mobile device you can also see the console output. Google for how.

    Are you sure you don't have scene view in 2D mode?

    Oh nice, didn't even think about the Scene window. That might well be it!

    That's the only thing I know of which specifically prevents scene view camera rotation as described in the OP. I looked around, and can't find anything else.

    If nothing suggested helps, I'd suggest posting a screen shot of what your editor looks like when you're having this problem.

    It's also possible that OP inadvertently locked the scene gizmo.

    Though this does not affect in-game cameras, so I'm not sure why the in-game camera wouldn't be rotating either.

    This is what my screen looks like. I can move my mouse left and right but not my camera.

    Does this happen in a new project?

    You are likely in 2D mode. Try pressing the '2' key on your keyboard.
