Zoom to point DEMO

firemaplegames

Hey All!

Just a quick demo showing how to zoom the camera in to a specific point:

This is a way to zoom the camera towards a specific point, in this case where you click the mouse or tap the screen. This might be useful to zoom in on a specific object, or as a transition to a new Scene.

Feel free to use this any way you want!

I have problems with what im trying to do....

I have a zoom working to X-120,Y-60 of an actor and change camera to 240 x 160 (this makes sure the actor is in the center of the screen) BUT....when i try and move the actor around while zoomed using constrain actor X,Y to Mouse X,Y the mouse X,Y seems to stray from my actor the further i am away from 240,160.

Yeah, you have to take into account for the origin of the camera. It changes as you change the zoom.

Controlling the camera while zoomed in is tricky. I'll try and think of a solution when I get some time.
