Best way to convert landscape to portrait or how to have both in a single app?

Manto

I have an app with all the other screens in portrait but I want a minigame screen to be landscape. Using the autorotations and going from portrait to landscape makes the camera show the landscape screen wrong. How should I convert the landscape screen to portrait or have both in the same app?

In your minigame scene change the scene size to w480xh320, then change the camera origin to X=80 and Y=-80, then unlock one actor in that scene and add a change attribute behavior for the camera rotation to 90 or -90 depending on what orientation you prefer.

Quickworkaround is to just design everything rotated 90 degrees

I usually use @johnmulcahy method.

In my post I forgot that you have to add also the change behavior for the camera origin. I don't know why (maybe it's a bug) but if you input the camera origin in the scene attributes it won't work.

Here's a simple demo for you:

Thanks for the answer. It didn't work for me, though. It didn't show the whole screen.

@Manto1 I think you will need to change the art...

I tried before posting and it won't let you edit it in the scene attributes, so the only option is with an unlocked actor.

Thanks for the answers.

I tried the MarkOnTheIron's way but it didn't work either

Here's a video demo what happened:

Good otherwise but I already have the game done. I'm merging two projects.

Thank you @MarkOnTheIron. This is exactly what I wanted.

I remember when GS only supported landscape games. I coded an entire game 90 degrees, only to have portrait support come out q week later
