Help with zoom!

edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
I have tried to use the zoom templates to achieve this but with no luck. I want to be able to zoom into something and when I touch it, it registers as being touched. do I need to build the game in a zoomed in mode and then set the camera to full screen afterwards?

Cheers

    yes, like that, I don't seem to be able to get the actor to respond when zoomed in, don't know if its something to do with the x and y positions reading different when zoomed.

    The only way I could think of doing it would be to build the whole game zoomed in, but then they wouldn't work when zoomed out.

    We did it by using the 480x320 actor (the background) and zooming to the X Y of mouse.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks, I'll give it a try. I was using zoom to x y of touch 1, it might behave differently.

    Darren, did you use interpolate camera originX and Y along with interpolate camera Width and Height?
  • UtopianGamesUtopianGames Member Posts: 5,692
    Yes m8 we did, and make sure the scene has scrollable checked.

    im still having trouble with this, I can zoom in ok, but I want a button for zooming back out. If I tell it to be located at camera origin x+150 and camera origin y+100, the button appears in the correct place, however it only responds if you click off to the left and below. I've tried using a fixed position, but does the same. Any ideas?

    thanks

    This is giving me a headache now,

    I've set the interpolate behaviour to change camera to 240 width and 160 height, also used interpolate to set camera origin to mouse position - 120 for x and - 80 for y.

    I basically have an actor which when touched, will rotate by 10 degrees, but so as I can have bigger levels I want to make it so you need to zoom into the actors.

    When zoomed in, the location of the actor stays the same, but it doesn't register a touch. for example, if the actor is a location 200x 50y, then when zoomed in it now registers as being at 400x 100y, if i click in the empty space at what is now registering as 200x 50y, the actor rotates!

    Can anybody help with this? Or tell me if this is a bug in the gamesalad software?

    cheers
