`Screen' does not contain a definition for `width'

Hi,

i am trying out unity and wanted to read the current screen width. but what i see in examples is using Screen.width
but i get the following error when i try to use it `Screen' does not contain a definition for `width'

when i use the following code

void OnGUI() {
Debug.Log(Screen.width);
}

what do i need to be able to read Screen.width / height?

 

You named one of your classes Screen, didn't you? You can check you class names against the index, so that you don't duplicate them.

 

aaaaah indeed thanks got i working now

 

Also, keep in mind that Screen.width / height isn't going to get you what you want, because they're both integers, and integer division only gives you the floor of the result, as an integer. You'll want something like

Code (csharp):

1. (float)Screen.width / Screen.height

instead.

 

thnx for the heads up
