c# - Unity3d - eulerAngles (local and global) totally different than what's in inspector -

in inspector gameobject i'm using starting rotation "-90", when run print(transform.eulerangles.x) 270 (ditto transform.localeulerangles.x).

if tilt gameobject downward, inspector x value gets bigger (say, -85) should. printed transform.eulerangles.x gets bigger, 274.

here's things weird:

if tilt gameobject upward inspector x coordinate gets smaller (ex, -95), should, printed eulerangle.x value gets bigger (here 274). if rotate object or down eulerangle.x being 270, x value increases regardless.

i'm doing wrong here, after lot of troubleshooting still can't figure out what. thoughts?

eulerangles convoluted process in unity3d. should never increment/decrement or set values in inspector or via code. should use absolute values read , set it.

don't increment or decrement values, fail when angle exceeds 360 degrees. transform.rotate use instead.

here sample code in unity3d documentation example:

using unityengine; using system.collections;  public class exampleclass : monobehaviour {     public float yrotation = 5.0f;     void update() {         yrotation += input.getaxis("horizontal");         transform.eulerangles = new vector3(10, yrotation, 0);     }     void example() {         print(transform.eulerangles.x);         print(transform.eulerangles.y);         print(transform.eulerangles.z);     } } 

this taken directly documentation: https://docs.unity3d.com/scriptreference/transform-eulerangles.html

also transform.rotate documentation: https://docs.unity3d.com/scriptreference/transform.rotate.html

the inspector give funky value vs when log it. consistency print(transform.rotation). should retain similar values across inspector , code.
