Airplane controller problem

Question

Hello everyone, my problem is this: I am using the following code as a control for my airplane, and works very well as I wanted, but when the plane collides with some object with a helper collider, the plane lost control. Anybody know how can I fix this?

var DiamondSound : AudioClip; static var money = 0;

static var airplaneangley: float=0.0;

static var rotationx:float =0.0; static var rotationy:float =0.0; static var rotationz:float =0.0; var positionx: float=0.0; static var positiony: float=0.0; var positionz: float=0.0;

static var speed:float =15.0; var uplift:float =0.0;

var rightleftsoft:float=0.0; // Variable for soft curveflight var rightleftsoftabs:float=0.0; // Positive rightleftsoft Variable

var divesalto:float =0.0; // blocks the forward salto var diveblocker:float=0.0; // blocks sideways stagger flight while dive

function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) { if (other.gameObject.tag == "diamonds") { money+=1; audio.clip = DiamondSound; audio.Play(); Destroy(other.gameObject); }

function Update () {

airplaneangley= transform.eulerAngles.y;

rotationx=transform.eulerAngles.x; rotationy=transform.eulerAngles.y; rotationz=transform.eulerAngles.z; positionx=transform.position.x;

positiony=transform.position.y; positionz=transform.position.z;

if ((Input.GetAxis("Vertical")<=0)) { transform.Rotate((Input.GetAxis("Vertical")*Time.deltaTime*80),0,0); }

if ((Input.GetAxis("Vertical")>0)){ transform.Rotate((Input.GetAxis("Vertical")*Time.deltaTime*80),0,0); }

if (speed>0) transform.Rotate(0,Time.deltaTime*100*rightleftsoft,0,Space.World);

if (speed>0) transform.Rotate(0,0,Time.deltaTime*100*(1.0-rightleftsoftabs-diveblocker)Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")-1.0);

if ((Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal")<0)&&(rotationz >0)&&(rotationz <90)) rightleftsoft=rotationz*2.2/100*-1;// to the left if ((Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal")>0)&&(rotationz >270)) rightleftsoft=(7.92-rotationz*2.2/100);//to the right

if (rightleftsoft>1) rightleftsoft =1; if (rightleftsoft<-1) rightleftsoft =-1;

if ((rightleftsoft>-0.01) && (rightleftsoft<0.01)) rightleftsoft=0.0;

rightleftsoftabs=Mathf.Abs(rightleftsoft);

if (rotationx < 90) divesalto=rotationx/10.0;//Updown if (rotationx > 90) divesalto=rotationx/-10.0;//Updown

if (rotationx <90) diveblocker=rotationx/200.0; else diveblocker=0;

if ((rotationz <90)&&(Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal")>0)) transform.Rotate(0,0,rightleftsoft*Time.deltaTime*80); if ((rotationz >90)&&(Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal")<0)) transform.Rotate(0,0,rightleftsoft*Time.deltaTime*80);

if (!Input.GetButton ("Horizontal")){ if ((rotationz < 135)) transform.Rotate(0,0,rightleftsoftabs*Time.deltaTime*-100); if ((rotationz > 225)) transform.Rotate(0,0,rightleftsoftabs*Time.deltaTime*100); }

if ((!Input.GetButton ("Vertical"))&&(groundtrigger.triggered==0)){ if ((rotationx >0)&&(rotationx < 180)) transform.Rotate(Time.deltaTime*-1,0,0); if ((rotationx >0)&&(rotationx > 180)) transform.Rotate(Time.deltaTime*1,0,0); } transform.Translate(0,0,speed*Time.deltaTime);

}

I loaded the script and got the error that I had no groundtrigger, so I deleted that part at the end so the line only read: if((!Input.GetButton ("Vertical"))) {

I don't know what you mean - it goes out of control... I attached it to an empty game object. This game object held both my camera and a cylinder with a character collider (my fake airplane). The script worked pretty well, except every now and then, when I turned, I got some weird camera jiggle - But when I hit a surface (one was a cube and another a plane) my cylinder airplane didn't lose control - it just sorta bumped of and kept flying.
