Description

Description:

Returns an array containing all information about current client screen resolution in format:
[screenW, screenH, viewPortW, viewPortH, aspectRatio, uiScale, fovTop, fovLeft, trippleHead]
Where:

• 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, is currently (Arma 3):
  

       0.47 - Very Small
       0.55 - Small
       0.7 - Normal
       0.85 - Large
       1 - Very Large

• fovTop Number: vertical FOV in radians, the same as fovTop value from the user profile (Since Arma 3 v1.94.145947)
• fovLeft Number: horizontal FOV in radians, the same asfovLeft value from the user profile (Since Arma 3 v1.94.145947)
• trippleHead Boolean: true if user has triple head screen (see also safeZoneXAbs, safeZoneWAbs) (Since Arma 3 v1.94.145947)
  
  

Template:Feature Arma3

⚠

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

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:

Since Arma 3 v1.94.145947:_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 // trippleHead ]

This command can be useful to play a video (see this function BIS_fnc_playVideo) in the given format if you have compiled it for different UI scale.
