1.3 Usage Effect ​

Main viewport

The main viewport divides the operational area and the non-operational area within the viewport based on the viewport size and the selected resolution.

PIE

The PIE window will automatically modify its size according to the aspect ratio of the selected resolution.

2. Landscape and portrait functionality ​

The experience on mobile platforms is divided into landscape mode and portrait mode.

Developers can use the portrait and landscape features to test run the created experience in edit mode and PIE mode. After the experience is published, it will also be marked as such, setting its portrait and landscape mode on mobile platforms.

2.3 Usage Effect ​

Main viewport

The main viewport will set the operational and non-operational areas within the viewport based on the portrait and resolution settings.

3. Important Notes and Suggestions ​

  • The editor defaults to landscape mode, providing character control UI and character camera parameters in landscape mode.

  • When developers switch from landscape to portrait mode, they need to modify the corresponding character control UI and character camera parameters based on the experience gameplay and content.

  • When the resolution is tiled to the main viewport, switching between landscape and portrait is not supported.
