The commands are: GetDeviceWidth(Height) and GetDesktopWidth(Height)

On my computer, the values returned are equal. However, is there any time they may not be equal? And for what reason.

in this from MAX? i would guess GetDeviceWidth(Height) is intended to work with WMR as different headsets will have different resolutions

Thanks for responding smallg. No, this is in Classic. I guess we have to start indicating in our description which one we are using. That's why it was confusing to me. I suppose it doesn't matter which one to use as there is only one device GG can use. That would be the desktop. However, maybe Lee was anticipating including WMR to GG-Classic -- which I don't think he will at this point. :LOL:

Which is why i keep suggesting we need a separate section in the forum for GameGuru Max discussions, it would make tings far less confusing. We don't need to segregate the community, but being able to keep posts separate within the same forum is a must.

well VR did get added to GG (classic) before so perhaps it was for that

Ok so the difference is:

GetDesktopWidth/Height directly calls a Windows function to get the values.

GetDeviceWidth/Height returns the stored global value.

On initialisation GG calls the windows function to find out the window/screen size ('windowed' mode is currently not allowed) then sets the global values to these, so in effect they both give you the same values at present.

Been there, done that, got all the T-Shirts!

Yeah have to agree - really this is a no-brainier

I guess if it is not explicitly stated that the question is about MAX, then is should be assumed that the question IS about Classic

Yeah seen a few threads now with questions relating to Max and Max was never specified

Do the above commands mean we will actually have window support in Max?

I agree to either have a special area for max questions. @synchromesh, that was a great idea except they are now both locked and are buried deep in the mire of chat posts. :SMILE: I suppose we should all use the pinned thread by Lee regarding the Alpha release for questions regarding MAX. Thanks smallg for remeberizing us (that's my new word for the day) that a type of VR was placed in Classic some time ago. And a shout out to AmenMoses for getting inside the engine and explaining how it works.

Ye that's the prob , Initially they were hot topics and it did work but as time goes by they can crop up but in actual fact there is only one about the Max Gizmo that I really should really lock and re-direct . I will have to jump in as soon as next time

This was a classic question by the OP that wandered off slightly .

No that's the problem.
In order to help Lee so he doesn't waste time trawling through loads of threads its best to post in one place.
That way he can hit and run and get back to coding

Please Direct any issues or questions to Lees Thread
