Is there a way to define a var for the screen resolution?
What i would like to do is to print/ output the current screen resolution onto a 2d Overlay.

What i did so far was to dismantle http://www.ambiera.com/forum.php... the realtime Skybox by just_in_case

i tried canvas/resolution ... but noone of those exist as functions.
So what is the function called for Canvas/Screen resolution?

I don't think it is yet supported... You cant just capture the whole screen and display it on a 2d overlay .... Till someone had made such a behaviour or action for that...

But if you want to show up a mini game in your original game..

For example your player reaches to a gaming machine or t.v model and then just press a button to play mini game...

For that i will suggest you to scale down the whole mini game scene.. and draw it on th t.v screen of you gaming model
...

I know you wont understand what am trying to say...

Actually all you have to do is to scale down the whole scene (minimize it) and put it into a bounding box...
And then recreate your original game in the same scene with large models and textures outside that bounding box...

ooh no looks like i choose the wrong wording
what i wanted is to display the current screen resolution in numbers like you did in the realtime Skybox with time/date...

Ohh yeah... Well maybe then this will work...

Var resoulution = screen.width+"x"+screen.height;
Var overlay = CcbGetscenenodefromname("2d overlay");
Ccbsetscenenodeproperty (overlay, "Draw Text", True);
Ccbsetscenenodeproperty (overlay,"Text", resolution);

Not sure but maybe this will print the current screen height and width of your device.. on a 2d overlay...

Hope it will work for you...!

[b]Edit:-[b] Or maybe

    ccbGetScreenWidth
   ccbGetScreenHeight

this can Help You...

hey thx


//Draw Screen Res
var s = ccbGetSceneNodeFromName("Screen");
var text = ccbGetSceneNodeProperty(s, "Text");
ccbSetSceneNodeProperty(s, "Text",''+ccbGetScreenWidth()+'X'+ccbGetScreenHeight());

This worked perfectly to output the current Screen height/width

hey just_in_case
hope you could help me out once more, how would i specify/change the resolution.

So when i click on lets say Screen it displays a list of resolutions defined by me and if i pick one it switches to it.... and is there a option to set it fullscreen/windowed by script?

You can't change the resolution of client system using javascript but maybe there is a way to change the resolution of your exe.

you have to ask @Niko(developer).. if there exist a function like ccbSetScreenWidth() and ccbSetScreeHeight() ...?
