I want my game to work only on Landscape when on mobile.
For that, I put this at the beginning of LocalScript:
game:GetService("StarterGui").ScreenOrientation = Enum.ScreenOrientation.LandscapeLeft
However, when I rotate my mobile, it’s entering in Portrait, ie, Landscape mode is not locked.
What can I do to prevent the game from switching to Portrait?
You’d probably need to keep setting the ScreenOrientation every heartbeat step
game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
game:GetService("StarterGui").ScreenOrientation = Enum.ScreenOrientation.LandscapeLeft
end)
Though I’m not sure if this would cause it to freak out if on portrait mode

This should not be the case, as the documentation clearly states that the device is locked in the chosen orientation and this is not happening:

That’s the solution (tks @Abcreator ):
Changing this property will not change the ScreenOrientation for Players already in the game. To change the orientation for an existing player use their PlayerGui.ScreenOrientation property. (StarterGui.ScreenOrientation )
Also sorry, the code is actually:
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenOrientation = Enum.ScreenOrientation.LandscapeLeft
In my case, I used game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenOrientation = Enum.ScreenOrientation.LandscapeSensor
because LandscapeSensor
allows landscape in the two positions of the mobile.

I know this is a very late reply but I just wanted to let newcomers know that in StarterGui
there is a property called ScreenOrientation
. ScreenOrientation
allows you to select from multiple types of screen orientations to set in your game.
Here are the current screen orientation types:
LandscapeLeft
LandscapeRight
LandscapeSensor
Portrait
Sensor

Oh, indeed it is something much simpler!
I tested it and it actually works perfectly.
I will use this from now on.
Thank you very much!
