Abstract
Provides a function to zoom in on an area of a sprite
Dependencies
AGS 2.71RC4 or later
Functions
Zoom.zoom(int sprite, float speed, float startscale, float endscale, int startx, int starty, int endx, int endy)
Zooms in on sprite from staring scale to ending scale.
speed is a multiplying factor for the scale at each step
endx and endy are the top-left coordinates of the area onscreen
to which the zooming will head towards
startx and starty are the inital coordinates of the top-left of the sprite
Zoom.zoomdone();
Returns 0 if currently zooming, 1 if not zooming.
Configuration
None required
Example
// Zoom sprite 7 from normal size to 10x, heading towards location 200,80 Zoom.zoom(7, 1.01, 1.0, 10.0, 0, 0, 200, 80); // Same again, but a bit faster Zoom.zoom(7, 1.02, 1.0, 10.0, 0, 0, 200, 80); // Zoom back out again Zoom.zoom(7, 1.02, 10.0, 1.0, 200, 80, 0, 0);
Caveats
Not tested with start or end scale of other than 1.0
this may give strange behaviours. Or, might just work.
