Hello I was looking for some help on how to set my player game objects movements. Essential the player is a stationary turret in the middle of the map and I just need to make it move left and right.

Now I have made it so that is rotates but it is currently rotating 360 degrees and I simply need to to go 90 degrees to the right and 90 degrees to the left…

This is what I currently have for script and it doesn’t seem to be working correctly - please help:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class playerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{

public float speed ;
public float rotationSpeed;
//transform
Transform myTrans;
//object position
Vector3 myPos;
//object rotation
Vector3 myRot;
//object rotation 
float angle;

// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
    myTrans = transform;
    myPos = myTrans.position;
    myRot = myTrans.rotation.eulerAngles;
}

void FixedUpdate ()
{
    
    //rotate object Right & Left
    if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.RightArrow)) {
        myRot.z -= rotationSpeed;
    }
    if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.LeftArrow)) {
        myRot.z += rotationSpeed;
    }
    if (transform.eulerAngle.x > 90) {
            
        transform.eulerAngle.x = 90;   
        }

    myTrans.position = myPos;
    myTrans.rotation = Quaternion.Euler (myRot);

}

}

I think you need to setup a “Hinge Joint” that way you can setup the limits min and max. do this to the gameobject in the editor before writing a control code for it.

if you need more help I can add a sample later on

Just move your if statement:

void FixedUpdate ()
{
    if (transform.eulerAngle.x >= 90) {
       //rotate object Right & Left
       if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.RightArrow)) {
          myRot.z -= rotationSpeed;
       }
    }
    if (transform.eulerAngle.x <= -90) {
       if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.LeftArrow)) {
           myRot.z += rotationSpeed;
       }
     }
}
