I'm working on the top-down shooter tutorial made by Ashley to see if I could figure out another issue I'm working out (a totally different game).
I started messing around with some features and discovered you could adjust the "zoom" level by changing the layer scale (in my .capx above, you press A to "zoom in" and D to "zoom out". The zooming works fine, but...
If you're familiar with Ashley's tutorial, you know that the Player (Hero in my .capx) sprite is supposed to set its angle toward the Mouse X/Y coordinates. When the layer scale (or "zoom") is 1, that works swell. However, changing the zoom levels (up or down) affects the sprite's ability to track the mouse properly...it's tracking, but, oddly. I don't understand why. At least, I have a notion but I can't explain it, let alone figure out a solution.
I'd definitely like to incorporate a zoom option in future games... Anyone have feedback on what's going on? If so, I may be able to figure out a work-around. Proposed solutions are welcome, of course.
THANK YOU!
