/// This is the most efficient way to handle scroll conflicts when there are multiple scroll rects, this is useful when there is a vertical scrollrect in/on a horizontal scrollrect or vice versa
/// Attach the script to the  rect scroll and assign other rectscroll in the inspector (one is vertical and other is horizontal) gathered and modified from unity answers(delta snipper)
