--setup a function when the resource starts
function checkResolutionOnStart ( theResource )
	--if the resource started isnt this resource, don't bother initiating the function
	if theResource ~= getThisResource() then return end
	local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() --get their screen size
	if ( x <= 640 ) and ( y <= 480 ) then --if their resolution is lower or equal to 640x480
		--warn them about GUI problems.
		outputChatBox ( "WARNING: You are running on a low resolution.  Some GUI may be placed or appear incorrectly."
	end
