Getting the rotation of an object, rotates the object!

Hello everyone!
I have a globe that the user will rotate:
Here’s the code:
function Update () {

var horiz:float = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"); 
var vert:float = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

if(horiz > 0)
	transform.Rotate(Vector3(0,1,0), Space.Self);
if(horiz < 0)
	transform.Rotate(Vector3(0,-1,0), Space.Self);	
if(vert > 0)     
 	transform.Rotate(Vector3(0,0,1), Space.World);
if(vert < 0)	
	//print(transform.rotation.eulerAngles.z); 
 	transform.Rotate(Vector3(0,0,-1), Space.World);

}

So for the vertical rotation, I will put a limit(ex: 10 degrees max) and
no limit (full rotation horizontally).
I have used the print to check/get the rotation, but instead it rotates the globe without
a keyboard input, as I run the game!
someone tell me why?

If you want to stop the rotation from going beyond a minimum/maximum, you can clamp it.
For example:

float rotationY; 
float minimumY;
float maximumY;

rotationY += Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y");
rotationY = Mathf.Clamp (rotationY, minimumY, maximumY);
transform.localEulerAngles = new Vector3(-rotationY,0,0);

It’s a little different than your design, but it will work. Assign the value, then clamp it.
