rotation x changes all angles?

Question

I tried to change just the x rotation of an object(the head shoult look in the direction, that the camera has) but the y and z angels are also influenced and I dont't know why. Any solutions?

var Arm : Transform;

var Head : Transform; var Kamera : Transform; var Charakter : Transform;

function LateUpdate () { //This here works correct Arm.rotation=Kamera.rotation;

//this here doesn't work :/
Head.rotation.x=Kamera.rotation.x;

}

Transform.rotation uses Quaternions.
Use Transform.Rotate instead and set the angles for y and z to zero.

Transform.rotation is a quaternion, and you generally don't want to modify its elements directly.

Try Transform.eulerAngles instead.

Unity stores rotations as Quaternions internally. To rotate an object, use Transform.Rotate. Use Transform.eulerAngles for setting the rotation as euler angles.
