Description

Description:

Returns an array containing all information about current client screen resolution.

Render resolution is not returned by this command.
A sampling setting of 50% means half of native width and half of native height, resulting in a render resolution of 25% the original resolution.

⚠

The engine default value for fovTop is 0.75 in case it is needed to calculate difference with custom FOV.

ⓘ

The aspectRatio is calculated as fovLeft / fovTop and should be the same as screenW / screenH for undistorted image if the FOV is custom. Some of the common values:

16/9	16/10	5/4	4/3	16/9 triple screen
1.777777(…)	1.6	1.25	1.333333(…)	5.333333(…)

Return Value:

Array - [screenW, screenH, viewPortW, viewPortH, aspectRatio, uiScale, fovTop, fovLeft, tripleHead]

screenW: Number - width of the screen in pixels
screenH: Number - height of the screen in pixels
viewPortW: Number - width of the 4:3 view port in pixels
viewPortH: Number - height of the 4:3 view port in pixels
aspectRatio: Number - screen aspect ratio
uiScale: Number - the scale of the UI, which affects view port size:

Arma 3
Very Small	Small	Normal	Large	Very Large
0.47	0.55	0.7	0.85	1

fovTop: Number - vertical FOV in radians, the same as fovTop value from the user profile (Template:Since)
fovLeft: Number - horizontal FOV in radians, the same asfovLeft value from the user profile (Template:Since)
tripleHead: Boolean - true if user has triple head screen (see also safeZoneXAbs, safeZoneWAbs) (Template:Since)

Examples

Example 1:: _res = getResolution; // a 16/9 single monitor setup [ 1360, // width 768, // height 867, // 2D viewport width 653, // 2D viewport height 1.77778, // aspect ratio 0.85 // UI scale ]
Example 2:: _res = getResolution; // dedicated server [ 160, // width 120, // height 136, // 2D viewport width 102, // 2D viewport height 1.33333, // aspect ratio 0.85 // UI scale ]
Example 3:: _res = getResolution; // a triple 16/9 monitor setup [ 5760, // width 1080, // height 792, // 2D viewport width 594, // 2D viewport height 5.33333, // aspect ratio 0.55 // UI scale ]
Example 4:: _res = getResolution; // 16/9 monitor setup [ 1920, // width 1080, // height 792, // 2D viewport width 594, // 2D viewport height 1.77778, // aspect ratio 0.55, // UI scale 0.75, // fovTop 1.33333, // fovLeft false // tripleHead ]
