while the
camera class does have "width" and "height" fields you can change, this doesn't actually zoom the screen in, just cuts the screen visibility off.
what you can do is create a
capture buffer to copy everything on screen into a renderable texture, then just redraw it scaled over everything else (i don't exactly remember so someone is free to correct me, but i believe that scaling a texture is possible using glDraw?).

While it's not documented on the docs yet, I recommend checking out handycam.lua in the scripts folder. I thinkkkkk you access the zoom via handycam[1].zoom = 2 for instance?

i just tested, you indeed can do that. i actually didn't know about this library at all (thanks for mentioning it lol), and since it already does what i described in my previous post for you, it's an unequivocally better solution.

Code: Select all
local handycam = require("handycam")
handycam[1].zoom = VALUE
