how to disable rotation on mobile?

In webgl there is no option to disable rotation in the player settings as there is for android.(, it doesn't work if i set it in the android player options even though it has a little * to show that it is shared between platforms)

setting Screen.Autorotation as per the unity manual does not work either.
https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/ScreenOrientation.AutoRotation.html

is there a way to disable rotation (or limit it to horizontal) on mobile?

 

+1 for this

 

Maybe it has to happen in the html page? Any ideas?

 

its such a shame when you read webgl forum , its obvious that every one in every different period of time has gone through same issues for past three years and all these issues still remains !
its been the third day im struggling with webgl issues on ios ! so far i just solved the dpi issue,looking for a responsive html/css solution for that
then i should figure out a way to have touch input and mouse+keyboard input working together ,at this moment they're conflicting and Mobile device is kinda interpreting the mouse input scripts into touch

 

i think it's just that nobody has posted the workarounds that they came up with. it's easy to forget about the struggle, when you've solved your problem. i'm taking it as an indication that none of the problems are particularly deep.

i think the solution to the rotation locking is to lock the screen directly in html5, i'm currently trying to figure out how to do that, without knowing anything about html5.

 

check out this page : https://forum.unity.com/threads/force-landscape-rotation-when-mobile-webgl-is-detected.725927/
as far as im not concerned with that at this moment ,i havent read about it yet, but with a brief search which i did it seems achievable ,maybe u would have need to spend a couple of days gaining basic knowledge of html/css/js.
manipulate unity WebglTemplates to get some clues.

 

thanks,
i think i'm just going to rotate the canvas/camera 90° when i detect that i'm in portrait mode, i just hope it doesn't glitch the screen when it turns. it's kind of messy but it'll do for now.

 

this dosen't actually work though,
am i actualy rotating the right things?
i have this script attached to my camera, the canvas is set to my root canvas:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class AntiRotationHack : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.  
8.     //rotate the screen 90° when we are in portrait mode
9.     // a nasty hack untill unity webgl sorts it out.
10.  
11.     public Canvas canvas;
12.     // Start is called before the first frame update
13.     void Start()
14.     {
15.      
16.     }
17.  
18.     // Update is called once per frame
19.     void Update()
20.     {
21.         //do this only on mobile, it would suck if you just resized your screen on desktop
22.         if (Application.isMobilePlatform)
23.         {
24.             Debug.Log("running on mobile platform");
25.             //only when the vertical screen dimension is greater than the horizontal
26.             //Screen.currentResolution.height > Screen.currentResolution.width
27.             if (canvas.pixelRect.height > canvas.pixelRect.width)
28.             {
29.                 gameObject.transform.eulerAngles= new Vector3(0,0,90);
30.                 canvas.transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 0, 90);
31.                 Debug.Log("screen h" + canvas.pixelRect.height + "w" + canvas.pixelRect.width);
32.                 Debug.Log("rotate 90°");
33.             }
34.             else
35.             {
36.                 gameObject.transform.eulerAngles= new Vector3(0,0,0);
37.                 canvas.transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
38.                 Debug.Log("screen h" + canvas.pixelRect.height + "w" + canvas.pixelRect.width);
39.                 Debug.Log("rotate 0°");
40.             }
41.  
42.         }
43.     }
44. }
