So I have now created a 2player Tank classic fight game following a tutorial from Unity. Let me just say that this was the most complicated game. From the controls of the two different tanks on the keyboard to being able to actually play the game. Also with the game is an unusual way to create the range of the shell you fire at the other tank. I found it difficult to code with the music and player sounds. But coding has always been my weak spot.
So in a summary I

So now that i have the basic game pitch. I have decided to add to it. The helicopter will take off from the base and have to find the soldiers. when the helicopter lands to rescue to the soldiers, they will run into the helicopter. However there will be a twist the helicopter will only be able to hold 3 passengers at a time, so the player will have to fly back to the base and let the soldiers unload from the helicopter before being able to take off again.
So about 2 months ago I swapped from using Monodevelop to using Visual Studios for coding. Let me just say it has been the best change for me in coding. For once the colors are not monochromatic.. no pun intended. So different things stand out more to me. This then helps me locate a problem in my code that write.It also has this auto-correct feature that fills in the endings and half of the words for me. This greatly minimizes the chance that I make simple errors. I further believe that this is why I'm able to move through following tutorials faster, because I am not missing simple errors.
So I was having problems because I was using an older version of Unity. However I decided to switch from using MonoDevelop to VisualStudios. This will be very beneficial to me because it basically has spellcheck for coding which is useful for me because I always forget the small little details. This system if I start a bracket it automatically closes it and adds semi-colons. I feel like using this to code will not stress me out as much and give my teacher a break because I won't have to call him over as much as I had to in the past. So below is what Visual-Studios looks like.
