i dont have a gyroscope phone to test it on

Unfortunately, you can't get good readings from just a gyroscope. You need to take all the readings from accelerometer gyroscope and (optionally) a magnetometer. This is generally called sensor fusion, and you can find the sensors demo for an example of how to do this.

https://github.com/godotengine/godot-demo-projects/tree/3.0-d69cc10/misc/sensors (or find it in the template section of the godot project screen)

If you want to code it yourself look into the madgwick filter, which was the best method I found. https://x-io.co.uk/open-source-imu-and-ahrs-algorithms/

Note, this is really complex and there is about zero chance of you getting it working without a physical device you can test on. Once you see the code, you'll see it's much more complex.

i brought a new phone, and got the template demo working... is there anyway i can make it sense tilts up down, and across so the scene is kind of 2.5d ?

Opengift

anyways thanks for your answer, ive got another demo kind of working i just need to convert float to vector3.x and it shoud work the sensor controlls the alien in this demo

func _physics_process(delta):

apply_impulse(Vector2() , (Vector2(Input.get_accelerometer().x*10, 0 )))
ed = get_position().x

$Gimbal.rotate_object_local(ed,Vector3(),Vector3())

what do i need to do here to make ed a Vector3

You may be able to construct a Vector3 using the y value of the accelerometer. Something like this (completely untested):

var sensor_vector = Vector3(Input.get_accelerometer().x*10, 0, Input.get_accelerometer().y*10)
