How do I get device's orientation similar to a compass from UserInputService?

I want to get device’s orientation accurately.
I tried to use this script:

local Service = game:GetService('UserInputService')
if Service.GyroscopeEnabled then
	Service.DeviceGravityChanged:Connect(function(acceleration)
		script.Parent.Background.Arrow.Rotation = acceleration.Position.Y
	end)
else
	game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:Kick('Your device does not support compass or you need to enable location or sensors on Roblox app permissions from device settings!')
end

It’s not getting the device’s orientation properly!
Is there a another script I can try?

Have you looked into DeviceRotationChanged? Is there a reason why it doesn’t work for you?

#3

Yes I have also looked into DeviceRotationChanged, but in my scripts, I get the CFrame.Position.Y from the DeviceRotationChanged and it didn’t work.
I want to make a Gui that is similar to a compass.

CFrames contain rotation data as well. In your case it might be as simple as this.

local _, yRot, _ = CFrame:toEulerAnglesXYZ()

#5

Ok, thanks for that I will try it later.

You could use the ScreenOrientation property of PlayerGui. If you want to know when the orientation changes then you can do PlayerGui:GetPropertyChangedSignal("ScreenOrientation"):Connect()

Why would you not help?, all you did is say hi

#10 
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")

while wait(0.2) do
	if uis.GyroscopeEnabled then
		local np, deviceCFrame = uis:GetDeviceRotation()
		--now you have device orientation. Its a CFrame.
	end
end

The rotating degrees of a device! It’s a number.
