Changing device orientation with a rule?

  I'd suggest rotating the CAMERA.
  
  You can only do this with an actor that is INSTANCED in the scene. Otherwise, it doesn't have access to the camera attributes.
  
  Put an actor in your scene. The double click on it from the scene window. Then click on the padlock to make it a unique instance.
  
  Now, you can create Rules that change Attributes relating to the camera.
  
  Instead of just having access to categories of Attributes such as Game, Devices, and Actor, you can also get into the Attributes for Current Scene, including Camera > Origin, Size, Tracking Area and Rotation.
  
  You can mess around with the camera rotation there.
  
  I'm not sure if there's a way to do that without making a non-prototype actor. Bit of a hassle, because it's hard to share these behaviours between different scenes, because they're not stored in the prototypes, because the prototypes don't have access to the Scene > Camera Attributes. Oh well.

  you could just have an actor in the scene which constrains the camera rotation to a global attribute you make, you could then access that from a prototype, and have it so that when two actors collided (or anything, really) change game.(global attribute you constrained the camera rotation to) to (whatever value you want the camera to rotate to). Use interpolate to make it smoothly rotate. Hope This Helps!
