storing device orientation as variable

Scripting
1

I’m trying to store the current device orientation as a variable, but not sure how, or where to put it in the code (it should be readable by Update to check when the orientation changes). (myDeviceOrientation = Input.deviceOrientation;)

How do I store the current orientation?

C#:

DeviceOrientation originalOrientation = Input.deviceOrientation;

UnityScript:

var originalOrientation : DeviceOrientation = Input.deviceOrientation;

You can declare it globally, so at the top of your JS or C# script where other variables are, simply define it there, like

C#:

public class MyClass : MonoBehaviour
{
     private DeviceOrientation originalOrientation;
}

UnityScript:

#pragma strict

var originalOrientation : DeviceOrientation;

then where you choose to set it is up to you, either Update or Start
