Example: how to change rotate with script unity

var rotationVector = transform.rotation.eulerAngles;
rotationVector.z = 0;  //this number is the degree of rotation around Z Axis

//if you put this in a coroutine and yielding for some amount of time 
//you can have something like a rotating loading icon
