Bone doesn't rotate through script

Question

Hello people, I'm working on a script moving the arm of my character in the direction where the camera's looking. Can't figure out why it's not working...

Here's the script, in the Player Control script, where cam is the camera GO, armControl is the bone i'd like to move, armRot is just a float.

 void LateUpdate()
     {
         armRot = cam.transform.rotation.x;
         armControl.Rotate(armRot, 0, 0);
     }

Thank you!!

Transform.Rotate rotates the object at the given degree (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.Rotate.html). But you want to set the rotation. I don't know, if it works, but you need something like that:

 armControl.rotation = cam.tranform.rotation;

Trying that too but didn't work. I finally went with

 armControl.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(rotY-70, new Vector3(1, 0, 0));

Which gave me access correctly without deforming. And follows rotY which is directly the mouse input.

Thank you very much though

If I remember well, it told me rotation is not a variable, so I can't just tweak it.
