I can't set the rotation of an object, either with scripts or directly in the editor.

I’m running into a strange issue -

I have two directional lights, whose rotations I’m attempting to set in a script (C#)

I’ve created a transform Array which the two lights are assigned to. I’ve also created a new Vector 3 to store my rotation. (private Vector3 lightVector = (180, 270, 180);

When trying to set the rotation using the vector (light[0].transform.localEulerAngles = lightVector, and light[1].transform.localEulerAngles = lightVector) one of the two lights is set correctly.

The other light ends up rotated to (-5.0089e-06, 90.00001, 5.00897e-06)

And - even stranger, when I end the game and return to the editor, the rotation of the problematic light ends up set to some arbitrary numbers (0, 90, 0) rather than the numbers I set initially inside of the editor.

Whats going on here?

This is the script I’ve ended up with: What - Pastebin.com

These rotations are the same: the 3-axes notation is redundant, and many XYZ combinations result in the same rotation. In this particular case, (180,270,180) results in the same rotation as (0,90,0) (5.0089e-06 is 0.000005, virtually zero).
