rotating an object on x axis while moving on z axis

Hello!

I’ve read some posts here on how to rotate an object on z, but i can’t seem to get it to work with the tutorial i’m walking through. Here’s my code:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Player : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed = 4;
    public float speed2 = -4f;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        // sets initial position of player
        transform.position = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        float zLeft = Input.GetAxis("zLeft");
        float zRight = Input.GetAxis("zRight");

        // want to roll object slightly on z axis to simulate a ship banking.
        transform.Translate(new Vector3(horizontalInput, verticalInput, zLeft) * speed * Time.deltaTime);
        transform.Translate(new Vector3(0, 0, zRight) * speed2 * Time.deltaTime);

       





    }
}

My goals are as follows - 1) rotate the object on the x axis whenever zLeft and zRight are in use, and when i release the key level out to its original rotation. 2) I’m suspecting there is an easier way to accomplish my last line of code with out defining a negative variable.

I figured this out! nevermind.
