Question - Code How To Use window_center() ?

[Zeralith]

Hey guys,

I'm kinda new to GameMaker, in general, but I cannot for the life of me get window_center() working in GameMaker Studio 2.

I understand that window_center() needs to happen at least 1 Step after a window_set_size() or a window_set_position() is called.

Can anyone let me know how to get window_center() working? Thank you!

Here is my Rooms, Object, and Code:

I have 2 Rooms called "rmBootStrap" and "rmTitleScreen" and made them both 512x288 in size.

I have an Object called "oBootStrap"

I put oBootStrap into rmBootStrap.

Here is the code in oBootStrap:

CREATE:

if !(window_get_fullscreen()){
    window_set_size(1024, 576); // Set the size to double
}

alarm[0] = 2;

ALARM 0:

if !(window_get_fullscreen()){
    window_center(); // This is not working
}

//show_message("alarm 0 is working!");

instance_destroy();

DESTORY:

// Go to the Title Screen
room_goto(rmTitleScreen);

Hey guys,

For now I'm just using the following code, which does seem to be working correctly... but I still do not understand why window_center() is not working for me:

ALARM 0:

if !(window_get_fullscreen()){
    //window_center(); // This is not working
    global.MonitorW = display_get_width();
    global.MonitorH = display_get_height();
    //show_message(string(global.MonitorW) + "x" + string(global.MonitorH));
    global.Xoffset = (global.MonitorW - window_get_width()) / 2;
    global.Yoffset = (global.MonitorH - window_get_height()) / 2;
    //displayXOString = "Xoffset: " + string(global.Xoffset);
    //displayYOString = "Yoffset: " + string(global.Yoffset);
    //show_message(displayXOString + " --- " + displayYOString);
    window_set_position(global.Xoffset, global.Yoffset);
}

//show_message("alarm 0 is working!");

instance_destroy();
