Camera and Character Rotate on Y axis

I apologize if this is a simple fix. Okay, right now I have a ball (Player) continuously rotating on x and y axis's when controlled. I have a free moving camera thats not a child nor parent and is locked to the rolling ball. That's all good. But, I want the camera to rotate the character on its Y axis, so when the Player looks around, he's able to move "forward" in the direction he is pointing. I'm been coding for a while now, but this one stumped me. Any clues? Seriously thank you in advance. This is the last piece to my game.

Camera Script:

     public float distance = 5.0f;
     public float bufferup = 1.5f;
     public float bufferright = 0.75f;
     public float xSpeed = 250.0f;
     public float ySpeed = 120.0f;
     public float yMinLimit = -20f;
     public float yMaxLimit = 80f;
 
     private float x = 0.0f;
     private float y = 0.0f;
 
     void Start () {
         Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
         Vector3 angles = transform.eulerAngles;
         x = angles.y; 
         y = angles.x;
 
         if(GetComponent<Rigidbody>())
             GetComponent<Rigidbody>().freezeRotation = true;
     }
 
     void LateUpdate (){
         if(target)
         {
             distance -= .5f * Input.mouseScrollDelta.y;
             if(distance < 0)
             {
                 distance = 0;
             }
             x += Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * xSpeed * 0.02f;
             y -= Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * ySpeed * 0.02f;
 
             y = ClampAngle(y, yMinLimit, yMaxLimit);
 
             Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.Euler(y,x,0);
             Vector3 position = rotation * new Vector3(bufferright, 0.0f, -distance) + target.position + new Vector3(0.0f, bufferup, 0.0f);
 
             transform.rotation = rotation;
             transform.position = position;
         }
     }
 
     float ClampAngle(float angle, float min, float max)
     {
         if (angle < -360)
             angle += 360;
         if (angle > 360)
             angle -= 360;
         return Mathf.Clamp(angle, min, max);
     }
 }
