Changing Display in game with Unity 2019

Hey everyone,

So the resolution dialog is going to be removed soon, that's fine by me. But how do we let player choose which screen the game should be on ?

Went through everything google knew on the topic, tried in my game and nothing seems to work anymore. (it is mentionned in several place that the good old trick of setting a magic value in player prefs no longer works)

Are we seriously back to using win32 APIs for basic game features ? XD

 

You can evaluate all of the displays in the aptly named Display class: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Display.html

... and you need to set the target in your Camera: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Camera-targetDisplay.html

As for how you present this to the users in the options menu, that's up to you.

 

Hey thanks a lot for the reply !!

Hmm I thought that was for multi display purposes, doc doesn't mention it can move a fullscreen windows elsewhere... Worth a try but that a hell of a poorly put doc if it does work.

How does it behave when loading a new scene with a different camera ? do you see the window pop on another screen before your scripts can set back the target display ?
