Get window size

  • #1, by sebastianWednesday, 20. January 2016, 08:40 8 years ago
    Hello there folks!

    Is it possible to get the window size of the player when changing its dimensions (via lua) ?

    I know that there is a player command to set its size, but i want to get it and save this values inside a visionaire value

    Kind regards
    Sebastian

    It's actually better to store this value inside of the config dot ini file - well if your plan is to have it automatically launch at the same size as it was when the game was last exited.

    There was a function for returning the current surface resolution... I'm not seeing it in the wiki for some reason & I can't remember it off the top of my head. Sorry.

    I already managed to save the values.

    Autosave is the hint. It's the thing never restored to initial values unless you delete it.

    Id like to get this values in realtime while resizing the window. Autosave doesnt seem to be a solution here...

    I think the function was something along the lines of...
    getProperty("resolution").width -- width (might be .x instead of .width)
    getProperty("resolution").height -- height (might be .y instead of .height)
    

    I believe it was something along the lines of what I've added to the code block above. I don't however remember if it was .x/y or .width/height to return the values.

    sadly i cant get it to work with .width or .x.
    Regarding to the wiki http://wiki.visionaire-tracker.net/wiki/GetProperty there is no resolution property...

    Yeah according to the wiki, but it did exist - not sure it was ever added to the wiki, but there was a property field for resolution, as I vaguely remember testing it.

    game.WindowResolution.y
