How do I make gameObject.transform.rotation.z equal to a set float value?

I’m trying to make a simple First Person Camera Controlelr for use with the standard Xbox 360 controller.

I couldn’t find a way to equal the GameObject’s rotation to a particular value without using a Vector3. As it wouldn’t allow me to do this:

if (gameObject.transform.rotation.z > 0f)
{
   gameObject.transform.rotation.z == 0f;
}

Attempting to use a new Vector3 to hold my desired values has also been futile:

if (gameObject.transform.rotation.z > 0f) //Z-axis rotation limit.
        {
            gameObject.transform.rotation.z = new Vector3(fControllerZLimit,fControllerZLimit,fControllerZLimit);
        }

gameObject.transform.Rotate won’t work for this as I need the Camera’s Z axis to always equal 0 so it stays upright.

Rotation is a pain T-T

Vector3 tempRot = new Vector3 ();
tempRot.z = fControllerZLimit;
gameObject.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler (tempRot);

initialize tempRot with values that you don’t want to be changed ever

Use Gameobject.Qauternion.euler(x,y,z);
save the values of x,y as required and put the z value which you want. Your problem will be solved.
