Question by GODSBANE · May 16, 2013 at 02:11 PM · c#guimouse

Mouse Screen Position and GUI Position not scaled together.

I have a matrix to scale the GUI according to the resolution the player selects. I have seen this code in many places, so I assume it works nearly flawlessly. Although, I have not been able to find anyone with a problem similar to mine.

My code:

 float originalWidth = 1280;
 float originalHeight = 720;
 Vector3 scale;
 
 void OnGUI()
     {
         
         scale.x = (float)Screen.width / originalWidth; // calculate hor scale
         scale.y = (float)Screen.height / originalHeight; // calculate vert scale
         scale.z = 1;
         Matrix4x4 svMat = GUI.matrix; // save current matrix
         // substitute matrix - only scale is altered from standard
         GUI.matrix = Matrix4x4.TRS(Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity, scale);
         // draw your GUI controls here:
         Vector2 screenPos = Event.current.mousePosition;
         Vector2 convertedGUIPos = GUIUtility.ScreenToGUIPoint(screenPos);
         Debug.Log("Screen: " + screenPos + " GUI: " + convertedGUIPos);
         // restore matrix before returning
         GUI.matrix = svMat; // restore matrix
     }

This line:

 Debug.Log("Screen: " + screenPos + " GUI: " + convertedGUIPos);

returns the following.

 width: 1153         height: 649
 
 Screen: (757.1, -56.6) GUI: (840.5, -62.8 )
 
 Screen: (840.5, -62.8 ) GUI: (933.1, -69.6)

However, it scales from the top left with both Screen and GUI at 0,0 with the GUI gradually getting out of sync with the Screen.

The only time when both are scaled correctly is when the screen is 1280 720

If anyone has any quick solutions, that would be greatly appreciated. Although, I suppose at this point I would take a longer solution as well.
