Is there a way for your screen to increase in size automatically? For my Midnight Power game I am creating something where your view is not so good at the beginning since you are an average human and when you do certain things which I do not want to mention just yet, your view gets better and you can see further distances and when this happens I want your screen to increase in size automatically. Is there a way to do this? If not, can it be done with the DM language?

You can change a player's view range thingy (look up "view var (client)"), but you can't increase the size of the BYOND window, or the map window.

Actually, someone created an attatchment for BYOND where the BYOND screen can be put into full screen. Also, I have entered a view games where it says "Screen Size" and you can adjust your size of the screen and see more of the map. I can do this, but I want to know if there is a way to do it automatically.

Okay, here is an example. This is not how mine is going to work but it gives you an idea. There is a stat called Vision. It starts at 1 and your screen size is the default size. You train on something and your vision becomes 2, then your screen increases automatically and you can see more of the map. Is there a way to do this?

Note: In BYONDPlus it does NOT expand the screen into full view, all it really does is streach it out and blow it up (to full screen, mind you)

You could simply change view when you change vision..

I repeat: Look up "view var (client)" in the BYOND reference.

It will allow you to increase the number of squares the player can see on the map. Or decrease it. But there is no way to increase the size of the BYOND window, using BYOND.

true- though there is a decently functional third-party program that Bob-Of-Doom made that might be helpful: ID:289901
