Accelerometer angle limit

Questions & Answers
1

I am trying to fake a nice reflection on ipad by simply rotating an object with the reflection texture. The problem I have is with limiting the angle. I don’t want the reflection to go beyond the 180 degrees limit (the upper half of a circle) because it would go in the shaded part of the object hence rendering it unrealistic.

Here’s what I use now:

function Update () {
	var iphonez = Input.acceleration.y;
	transform.Rotate(Vector3.forward*iphonez*0.5);

}

As I tilt the ipad left and right the object will rotate nicely. But if I keep it tilted on one side the object will keep rotate the full 360 degrees and more.

var yMinLimit = -180;
var yMaxLimit = 180;
private var y = 0.0;

function Start()
{
    //var angles = transform.eulerAngles;
    //y = angles.x;
}
function Update () {
    var tiltSides = Input.acceleration.y;
    tiltSides = Mathf.Clamp(tiltSides, yMinLimit, yMaxLimit);
    transform.Rotate(Vector3.forward * tiltSides * 1.5);
}
