Hello, I've been working on a little FPS demo and I just learned to use this code


however, this allows for the camera to move all the way around, and do flips on it's x pivot. Can anybody help?

You have to apply a limit to the x rotation to keep the angles between 270 and 360 degrees, or 0 and 90 degrees.

That's a pain though, so you can cheat - add 90 degrees, and you only have to keep the angles between 0 and 180, and then subtract 90 degrees when you're done.

I tried that code, and now the camera will not move at all on it's x.
