hi people
i'm wondering me if there is a mathematik way to check up the x and y angles undepending from the z angle

i wanna make that when i press for example the upkey that a 3d object is bending a little in this direction undepending in what a side it is faceing (z angle) (from the top-view), i'm sure there is a coolmathe matik way to calculate the x and y rotation!

Not quite sure what you are trying to say...

Have you tried the roll, turn, and pitch commands?

i tried the roll, turn and pitch out but it wasn't that i need

i wanna if the upkey is pressed the object pitches in the up direction
when the leftarrowkey is pressed the object pitches in the left direction
and same with down and right, however in what direction the object is faceing. it is a view depended rotation.

the problem is for example if the object is faceing to the east side and press the upkey and rotate the object in the x-rotation is a other when i face to the south direction

ok i can try it with some "if"s and angle range checking but i'm wondering me if there is a faster math way to calculate the both angles

The easy way would be to cap the max pitch at +/- 89 degrees and avoid the problem.
