Why is the rotatoin on Y resetting?

[Kurt-Dekker]

Notes on clamping camera rotation and NOT using .eulerAngles because of gimbal lock:

Implement a limit in Camera Movement

Generally never read / write to / from eulerAngles. The reason is gimbal lock. Instead track your own float variable that is the heading, adjust and clamp that variable, then "drive" the camera's rotation each frame.

Implement a limit in Camera Movement

declare a variable float heading; adjust it when conditions warrant: if (conditionToTurn) { heading += AdjustmentWhateverYouWant; } clamp it heading = Mathf.Clamp( heading, minimum, maximum); drive the rotation to the camera transform: cameraTransform.localRotation = Quaterion.Euler( 0, heading, 0);
