Scale your GameObjects for every Screensize

Hay,

so I got this problem, that my GameObjects (for example my Walls) dont scale with the Screensize of the used Device. I tried to figure it out on my own, but only got to the point to "screenscale" all my UI elements. The problem: I want my walls to be on the edges of every device. When testing with an Iphone, it works perfectly. However if I switch to an Ipad resolution my walls wont move to the edges. Can anybody help me? I cant figure it out, since my walls arent UI elements.

Sorry for my bad english, and thanks for any answers!

 

You can get a screen edge (e.g. left) in world space by using:

Code (CSharp):

1. var leftScreenEdge = GetComponent<Camera>().ViewportToWorldPoint(new Vector3(0, 0, 0)).x;

And then set the x position of the left wall to leftScreenEdge.
Here is the right screen edge method:

Code (CSharp):

1. var rightScreenEdge = GetComponent<Camera>().ViewportToWorldPoint(new Vector3(1, 0, 0)).x;

For the z coordinate you would pass in the distance (in meters) between the camera and the 2D content.

Place the script on the camera.

 

Have you considered that different screen sizes are going to create actual different gameplay? You seem to be changing the actual size of the room/level based on the screen. I don't know your game, but that doesn't seem right, as the game won't be the same for everybody who plays it. It isn't so bad if there is no competition between players, but even so, it won't be the same all over.

 

Hay,

thanks for your aswer. Thats a really good point you mentioned there. The main goal is to get as high as possible while avoiding spikes and platforms. Yes, if I just move my walls to the edge of an Ipad screen, the playground is way bigger than on Iphone. But Iam trying to use this variable and somehow make a formula that scales all the other components (spikes etc.) as well. Sure it will never be equal an every device but I can try to minimize the problem

 

You are going about it all wrong. Since it is a camera that is rendering it, the scale won't matter. The objects will stay the same sizes all by themselves. The camera handles the rest automatically. The thing you would need to worry about primarily is the camera show more/less due to aspect ratio of the different resolutions...but there is no need to scale your objects or move them around, rather if you want the view to be the same, you can add black bars to the sides to compensate.

The only reason this functionality exists for UI stuff is due to the need to attach UI to parts of the screen, like upper left corner, etc... and not have them get distorted. But it doesn't exist for other rendered objects for the reason I mention above.
