[Resolved] Toggle Fullscreen?

[battlestar_caprica]

Hi,

I know the code to automatically send the game into fullscreen but I don't know the code to reverse this operation. In other words, how would I let the player toggle fullscreen on/off?
Thanks in advance.

Well, the player can already switch screen sizes by pressing Alt+Enter, if that's what you mean.

Yes I know that, but I need it scripted so that say when a switch is on it goes fullscreen and when a switch is off it becomes windowed again. I don't want the player to have to press Alt+Enter.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Bump! Can anyone help? I'd really appreciate some advice. I simply need to know how to turn fullscreen on and off without using Alt+Enter.

Took me 1 minute to find this using the search module. I'm not sure if it works reversed, but it should.

As far as I'm concerned, the following script should be able to turn on Fullscreen, and turn off Fullscreen if already in fullscreen, as the code appears to be virtually pressing Alt + Enter for the user.

keybd = Win32API.new 'user32.dll', 'keybd_event', ['i', 'i', 'l', 'l'], 'v'
keybd.call 0xA4, 0, 0, 0
keybd.call 13, 0, 0, 0
keybd.call 13, 0, 2, 0
keybd.call 0xA4, 0, 2, 0

This means, whenever you want the player to go into full screen mode, call this code in any existing script or using a call script command in event page 3.

Please note, as mentioned:

1. When NOT in full screen mode, this code will cause full screen.
2. When IN full screen mode, this code will go out of full screen mode.

I think this should work. I actually haven't tried exiting full screen with this code, though by the fact that it should press the keys for the player, it would be quite obvious.

Ah, i can't believe i never thought of just calling up the script twice... I can't see if it works right now but I'll try it later. Thanks FireRaven.
