paobrasil - Problems?
Well, your condition X RIGHT FRAME = 960 will run every game loop, rather than just at the start (unnecessary IMHO). As for the position, it depends where your Hot Spot is on (Your Object), eg top left, centre, etc. If it's top left then part of it will be off the left of the screen by setting it to -50. DistantJ's example using X Right Frame - 50 is to make sure that HUD elements on the right side of the screen aren't clipped.
Also if using Method 2, "X Right Frame = 960" will only work on iPad and iPhone 4S or earlier, the event won't trigger on iPhone 5 since X Right Frame will be 1136.
In Method 2 it'd be even less accurate as on iPad X Right Frame would then return 854.
It's better to just set the position to X Right Frame - 50 at the start of the frame.
AyreGuitar....I understand, thank you for the tip....so...if I just add "Start of Frame" before "X RIGHT FRAME = 960" this loop problem will be solved
DistantJ, this is my intention, because my buttons it's positioned in 1136 iPhone 5 resolution by default...then when the app detect iPad and iPhone 4S or earlier it reorganize the X positions of these buttons.....seen to be working fine in iOS Simulator...
thank you very much my friends
Ah yeah... You might consider changing it to "X Right Frame < 1136", that way it future proofs it against any other devices that might show up and readies you for the Android exporter for 16:10 phones etc.
DistantJ - I'm trying what you said for Method 2 (a 960x640 screen with a 1146x768 frame) and displaying the Y Bottom Frame on screen and it shows 720 on an iPad.
I think this is because 960*(768/1024)=720, ie the frame on iPad is 960x720, so I'm thinking that my frame only needs to be 1146x720?
Yeah, good point AyreGuitar, yes, it should be 720. My mistake.
Great article DistantJ, thank you! I can't use either method for CrazyCrab, so iPhone5 users will see black bars to the left/right.
Ah yes, you have the character wrapping around the screen don't you? What I would suggest if you want a professional look is to use Methos 2 and add a border. However I believe CrazyCrab didn't work out for you so unless its performance has improved I'd instead focus on bringing this feature to your next project :-)Originally Posted by Olivier
What happens if the app is set to 1024x768 and the frame is 1146x720 with method2?
It'll match the height, so it'll be 1024x768 on iPad (double that on iPad 3&4) and it'll shrink down to fit the height of the iPhone and then show the rest of the frame on the right.
