Switching to Fullscreen in the Web Player Using Code in 2.0?

Unity Engine
1

When I was at Unite 2007 I thought I heard that in Unity 2.0 you can now switch to fullscreen mode in the Web Player using code in 2.0. Is this possible? I know the Screen.fullScreen was disabled in 1.6.2.

I would like to have a button in my in-game options menu to switch to fullscreen instead of having to tell our customers to use the right click dialog. It makes it tough on the games that use the right mouse button like first person shooters. Is there a way to do this now in 2.0?

Thx

Hey Vince! Despite what the docs currently state you should definitely give Screen.fullScreen a go in the 2.0 player (and yes, a doc update is on the way). For example, the following works fine for me to create a simple fullscreen/non-fullscreen toggle button in web player content:

function OnGUI () {
  if (GUI.Button(Rect(10,10,50,20), "GO")) { 
    Screen.fullScreen = !Screen.fullScreen;
  }
}

Nice!.. It works!.. I guess next time I should try it first and see what happens. :slight_smile:

Thx again Tom!
