	Can CopperCube detect the resolution of a game's window internally? I tried with JavaScript and an error appears.

I found this page:
https://stackoverflow.com/questi...

That page says this:

In vanilla JavaScript, this will give you the AVAILABLE width/height:

window.screen.availHeight
window.screen.availWidth

For the absolute width/height, use:

window.screen.height
window.screen.width

I tried this in CopperCube's scripting window:

var test = window.screen.height;
print(window.screen.height);

Using that code causes this error:

script:3:TypeError: window is undefined

Does CopperCube not support those functions?

Being able to detect the resolution of the game's window is not super important. I won't become depressed if it cannot be done.

My game uses mouse movement and knowing the resolution of the window would allow me to create a script that would automatically adjust the functionality of the X and Y positions of the mouse depending on the resolution of the game.

Example:
I hard-coded the numbers based on the assumption that I will always test my game with a resolution of 800 x 600. The top and bottom vertical halves have different effects, and the left and right horizontal halves also have different effects. I detect the exact position of the mouse to change the turning speed of the character, and I slightly alter it based on a setting that allows players to change the intensity of the turning speed. Some people want to turn faster, and some people want to turn slower.

I thought that automating the detection of the halfway points and writing one big script that accommodates all possibles levels of granularity would avoid the long-term stress of having to hard-code new numbers again every time I decide to change the resolution of my game. Haha.

i think you can do something like that using:

ccbGetScreenWidth();

ccbGetScreenHeight();

I am so stupid!

I previously pressed "CTRL + F" to check the JavaScript Reference page for the word "resolution" instead of "width" and "height" and missed those functions.

They solve my problem!

I'm foolish like a toddler!

Thanks Tim.

I implemented resolution-independent mouse movement in my game!

I feel rejuvenated!
