Fighter Plane Rotating Issues

[saberboy117]

Im making a simple Fighter Plane but am having issues controlling it. The Plane rotates on all 3 axis. when level it rotates fine but when it is facing straight upward the y turning is the same as the z.

Code:

// v,h and rot are user inputs 
function getTurning(v,h,rot){
    var turn : Vector3;
    t.rotation.x += (v*TurnSpeed/50);
    t.rotation.y += (h*TurnSpeed/50);
    t.rotation.z += (rot*TurnSpeed/50);
}

How do I make it so that it rotates the plane like the rotate tool, on its own axis?

Thanks.

It sounds like you ran into a bit of gimbal lock.

Try something like this, using Rotate, instead:

function getTurning(var v : float, var h : float, var rot : float) {
    var ts = TurnSpeed / 50.0f;
    t.Rotate(v * ts, h * ts, rot * ts);
}
