Changing GUI placement when changing from landscape view to portrait

Unity Engine
1

Hey,
Is it possible to give the GUI buttons new placement ( not according to screen resolution ). That when the user changes to portrait the GUI buttons get new placement?

Pretty simple: Just use variables to fill in the positions, then you just need to change the variable to your new position, done! :slight_smile:

Could you give me an example please?

Lets say here is my first button, and this position is in landscape left

GUI.Button(Rect(512,0, 512, 768)

When I go to portrait, I want the same button to get a new position like

GUI.Button(Rect(20,20, 512, 768)
4

as said just replacce your values with an variable:

var offsetX : int = 512;
var offsetY : int = 0;

GUI.Button(Rect(offsetX,offsetY, 512, 768)

then all you need to do is, when you want to change the position of your button, just change the variable:

offsetX = 20;
offsetY = 20;

btw I’m using c# not javascript, so there might be some syntax errors you need to fix :stuck_out_tongue:

P.S. the code-tag consumes the “o” from offsetX, dunno why, so it’s no writing mistake ^^

From Documentation

if( Screen.orientation == ScreenOrientation.LandscapeLeft)
//Do Whatever you want
