referencing the center of the screen..

Hi all.

Is there a way to get a constant coordinate of the center of the screen? I would like to offset some objects within a scrolling background from the visible screen center, but it needs to work at varying resolutions, so referencing the visible screen edges seems unworkable.

initially I tried the following as a test

sprite : set x to scrollxleft+640

but that will only work in 1280 pixels wide resolution, it also juddered depending on what my scrolling was doing.. Ideally I need a method that would be rock solid.. can anyone offer advice?

thanks

With a invisible object in the center of the screen with the anchor behavior?

is this construct classic or construct 2 you are referring to? I cant see an anchor behavior in construct classic.

Sorry, I didn´t see the post was about classic. I was speaking about C2

If you use the window plugin then you could do something like,

sprite--> set x to scrollxright-(windowwidth/2)

thanks for the response, but due to varying scroll ratio changes, it moves around..

is there a mathematical way of setting it relative from a layer that never changes scroll ratio?
