Camera keeps moving around in circles and doesn't stop at -90.

[techNOlogics]

public Camera Camera;
public float speed = 0.1f;

void Update()
{
if (Camera.transform.eulerAngles.x > -90)
{
Camera.transform.Rotate(-1, 0, 0 * speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
}

I’m using this code above and instead of stopping at -90 it just keeps going around in circles.

Keep your own float for the rotation angle and set it into the rotation. Here’s why:

Notes on clamping camera rotation and NOT using .eulerAngles because of gimbal lock:

Implement a limit in Camera Movement

Generally never read / write to / from eulerAngles. The reason is gimbal lock. Instead track your own float variable that is the heading, adjust and clamp that variable, then "drive" the camera's rotation each frame.

Implement a limit in Camera Movement

declare a variable float heading; adjust it when conditions warrant: if (conditionToTurn) { heading += AdjustmentWhateverYouWant; } clamp it heading = Mathf.Clamp( heading, minimum, maximum); drive the rotation to the camera transform: cameraTransform.localRotation = Quaterion.Euler( 0, heading, 0);

How to instantly see gimbal lock for yourself:

Confusing bug

Pretty sure this is gimbal lock. To see what I mean: put a cube in a blank scene using the inspector, independently rotate it a little bit around x, y, z - works as expected now set x rotation to 90 try rotate around y and z - note that z works identically to y rotation! You can no longer rotate z! In the context of your game, I’m not sure what the best solution would be, but there’s a few possibilities.
