Please Help a Dad Out! Making Game W/ Son> Camera Script (in Post) Rotates Player Yaxis w/ cam

Hello,
I Know you guys get Tons of Noob BS but please Try to Help me Out. I'm not looking for someone to do the work for me but i have a tutorial i'm following on making a 3d platformer. Very Beginner C# scripting knowledge.

I think i added the script if not just tell me how and i seriously appreciate it you have no idea. My 4 year old son wanted to make a game

i used to use game maker 2d back in the day but things are different.

Making a game with my son and i'm stuck on this rotation problem weeks. i'm new to forum so forgive me if i can't upload script right.

I Stopped the camera going through the floor and camera uses mouse x and y for input.

I've been researching quaternions and eulerangles and rotation axis' and i'm STUCK.

I'm gonna try to add cameracontroller script and player respectively.

Any help is MUCH appreciated!

and player controller

29.  
30.         //float yStore = moveDirection.y;
31.  
32.         moveDirection = (transform.forward * Input.GetAxis("Vertical")) + (transform.right * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"));
33.         moveDirection = moveDirection.normalized * moveSpeed;
34.         //moveDirection.y = yStore;
35.  
36.         //Attempt to Add Gravity
37.         //moveDirection.y = -4.11f;
38.  
39.         if (controller.isGrounded)
40.         {
41.             moveDirection.y = -.14f;
42.             if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
43.             {
44.                 moveDirection.y = jumpForce;
45.             }  
46.         }
47.  
48.         moveDirection.y = (moveDirection.y + (Physics.gravity.y * gravityScale * Time.deltaTime));
49.         controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
50.  
51.         anim.SetBool("isGrounded", controller.isGrounded);
52.         anim.SetFloat("Speed", (Mathf.Abs(Input.GetAxis("Vertical")) + Mathf.Abs(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"))));

54.     }
55. }
56.  

ok i think i got it in. (Pre Post Update) -> the Script looks like theyre both in like i see it in the forums!

The Comments are Because i was trying to debug in a noob way i guess to see what caused player to move with the empty pivot i created as a child of camera in hierarchy and assigned it to player in script.

All i Want is to keep my move direction that took weeks to get to. (moving towards camera view basically is considered up). and my camera is supposed to use a game object empty "pivot" to rotate the view instead of player.
the x axis doesn't rotate player and y axis (mouse moving side to side) rotates smooth and nice but so does the player i added. FYI the player is i think a child of a capsule with toggled mesh renderer for collider. its under the arrow of capsule ( player) and the actual player with animations is called human guy lol.

I know it's complicated at least to me so please remember i'm a noob but also i'm able to understand very well things like this.

 

I Think line 62 of Cam controller looks suspect because it involves quaternions and euler.
but i am like a C# How to Book with 5 Pages right Now
