3rd Person Camera inversion

Question

So basically I used the tutorial on https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/unity3d-third-person-cameras--mobile-11230 to make my 3rd person camera and it works great but I want the camera to be inverted when I move the mouse up the camera looks down and vice versa. Anyone able to help?

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class CameraScript : MonoBehaviour {
     //It's the ship
     public GameObject Ship;
 
     public float TurnSpeed;
     //How far away the camera should be from the ship
     private Vector3 offset;
     void Start()
     {
         //May act funny when not maximaized in editor
         //Hides mouse
         Cursor.visible = false;
 
         offset = Ship.transform.position - transform.position;
     }
 
     private void LateUpdate()
     {
         float horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * TurnSpeed;
         Ship.transform.Rotate(0, horizontal, 0);
 
         float desiredAngle = Ship.transform.eulerAngles.y;
         Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, desiredAngle, 0);
         //Take the distance between the camera and the ship
         transform.position = Ship.transform.position - (rotation * offset);
         //Lookat the Ship
         transform.LookAt(Ship.transform);
     }
 }

Your question implies that the camera already moves in the vertical axis and you want to invert it, but there's no code here to do that - if so it may be handled by a different script?

But if you're really asking how to ADD that functionality...you basically want to do the same thing with the vertical axis:

      float horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * TurnSpeed;
      float vertical   = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * PitchSpeed;
      Ship.transform.Rotate(vertical, horizontal, 0);

Wouldn't this just swap the X-axis with the Y-axis? I'm pretty sure he just wants to make up down and down up like selecting invert in a shooter game? all you have to do is multiply Y input by -1 say if a bool invert is checked.

Also why are you rotating the transform of the "ship"? Am I missing something?

The "Ship" is the player

Thank you, i had something on another script similar to this but I removed it thinking it was redundant after replacing it and adding the negative sign it worked perfectly. :)

What about simply take the opposite of your x position ?

 Ship.transform.Rotate(0, -horizontal, 0);
