I have a game at the moment that rescales the layout a lot to zoom in and out, Because layer scaling was slow.

I was wondering if there was a way to get the correct mouse positions when zooming in and out.

I have notices that if you choose "On Object Clicked" the mouse position used for that always works.

There is my example of the bug/I'm not sure.

Here is the *.capx to.

Things I have tried.

Inserting a non-scaleable(0 Scale Rate) layer with 0,0 parallax. Then using..

Mouse.X("LayerName") or Mouse.X(2)

Mouse.Y("LayerName") or Mouse.Y(2)

Also tried the same method with a normal layer fully default.

The closest I could ever get was by doing..

Mouse.X/LayoutScale

Mouse.Y/LayoutScale

But it kind of moved around like an oval..hard to explain lol.

Thanks in advance any help greatly appreciated!

Total guess, but there are the mouse.absoluteX and mouse.absoluteY expressions.

They are used for onscreen coords instead of layout coords, I tried those. Thanks for trying to help though. I appreciate it.
