display_reset(aa, vsync);
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| aa | The level of anti-aliasing filtering (0, 2, 4 or 8). |
| vsync | Toggle vertical synchronisation to on (true) or off (false). |
Returns: Real
This function Resets the display settings to the ones that were
set when the game was started, but also allows you to change the
current level of full screen anti-aliasing being used and whether
to use vertical synchronisation. The available anti-aliasing levels
are 0,2,4 and 8, with the default startup value being set to 0, and
the default v-sync setting is false (off). Switching v-sync on may
give a smoother gaming experience but it will also need more
processing power and so its impact must be considered careful
before use, and the same goes for the anti-aliasing where the
higher the number the more processing that is required.
Since not all target devices are the same, some may not support 8x
or 4x anti-aliasing for example, and so there is a read only
variable available for getting the different levels of AA that the
device running the game can display:
display_aa
This variable will return a value based on the setting of bits
for the different levels. So for only 2xAA, this will report 2, for
2x and 4x availability it will report 6. For 8 and 4 it will report
12. For all 3 levels (2,4 and 8) it will report 14.
if display_aa > 12 display_reset(8, true);
The above code will set the anti-aliasing level to 8 if supported and switch v-sync to on.
