Multi Touch and HUD Scaling?

in Working with GS (Mac)
I am Making a Grand Theft Auto style game with the template "Standard cross platform controls." When A vehicle goes a certain speed camera Zooms out. Buuut interpolating the Joystick is beyond me.

Ive already expanded the template to include an inventory and a slot belt. and cars that are " mountable" so any help with this zoom issue would be incredible

The exact problem: When zooming the cam out controls must resized and positioned, why is the constrain position on the joy stick a mile long. And why is it duplicated so many time is the form of "touch1" "touch2" Does this make an anti-zoom impossible? I've thought long and hard on how to incorporate tshirtbooth's tut on Zoom while constraining HUD actors and have made that method work for a couple dif games. SOme1 Help.

    It's been a while since I've seen the code for the control but it sounds like they are using multi touch coordinates. I'll take a peek at it tomorrow. just to clarify you're talking about the free GS controls right? Click my link and watch my video on multi touch. I thoroughly explain it. Be warned though multi touch is pretty complex stuff. Here is the rub as I think about it. I'm not sure you'll be able to make the controller perform consistently during the interpolate. Is the rest of the game a template? If so what template? You might need to loose the zoom feature or think about a different type of controler.

    It is a free controls template that comes with the mac ver. of GS. called "Official Cross Platform controls". Another type of controller is inconceivable.

    I watched your videos, I found them insightful. but this Multi touch is set up with actors for Click counters? Maybe a joystick could spawn under the left thumb of each player already at a size to mach the zoom level?

    @FryingBaconStudios Please take a quick look at the template. I promise to give you considerable mention in game credit.
