My game uses scale outer so it does scaling by construct2 magic.

I want to put something on the middle of the screen.

WindowWidth/Height returns value of unscaled game window/height.

Example:

GameView width is 400 but canvas is 600 so everything gets scaled by 1.5

If i use windowwidth/2 i will get 300 and not 200 wchich I need and want.

thats perfect case because scale can be just anything.

Why isnt it implemented by default in c2? ScaledWidth and ScaledHeight? Can I get some "GameScale" value anywhere?

ScrollX/ScrollY would be correct if game wasnt scaled. When it is scaled, values are wrong.

ViewportRight - same problem, if game uses any scaling value readings are wrong.

Or im pretty much complete retard but its bit annoying there is no access to "scale" property anywhere.
