Force interface to middle monitor in 3 monitor setup

[alan.lawrance]

We would like to force all the interface elements to be on the center monitor in a three monitor setup.

If the game is running at 5760x1080 (3 1920x1080 monitors), the interface spreads out (as it should, as NGUI is just handling things properly from a resolution independent POV).

Is there a way to "trick" NGUI into thinking the interface should be displayed using 1920x1080 with the top-left pixel being (1921,0), when the "real" resolution is 5760x1080?

That would ensure all the interface stays centered on the center monitor, which is what we want in our case.

I recently worked on a problem similar so I might be able to help.

The solution I came up with is to move/adjust the viewport of Camera component that the UICamera uses. So if you support 16x9 as the widest aspect ratio and you have a constrained height you can determine what the camera's viewport should be based on the current Screen.width compared to the max UI width (Screen.height * (16/9)) to get the viewport percentages that you can input into the viewport rect on the Camera component.

Hope that helps!

We did this in a recent project. With this simple line of code:
iUICamera.rect = new Rect(1 / 3.0f, 0, 1 / 3.0f, 1);
