How do I make "lerp" zoom faster?

I basically have it so when the player is overlapping the sprite (zoom) I put the layer zoom event on, the layers will zoom out. But I've noticed that it takes a few seconds for the layers to fully zoom out to the value I have it set to. Is it possible to make the layers zoom out to my desired value in say, 1 second?

The event I put goes as follows:

Player is overlapping zoom>

Subevent compare instance variable > zoom is = 0 > layer 0 , scale lerp(LayerScale("BG B"), 0.5, 1*dt)

Subevent compare instance variable > zoom is = 1 > layer 0 , scale lerp(LayerScale("BG B"), 1.0, 1*dt)

Hi, im not sure about working it out to be an exact time but increasing the multiplication against DT increases the speed.

Subevent compare instance variable > zoom is = 1 > layer 0 , scale lerp(LayerScale("BG B"), 1.0, 10*dt)

Maybe this can help you

Also, to make the final part of the lerp faster you can increase the destination value a bit. So if you want to zoom from 0.5 to 1, instead of this:

set scale to lerp(layerscale, 1, dt*10)

do this:

set scale to min(lerp(layerscale, 1.1, dt*10), 1)

lerp will be changing the scale to 1.1, but the min() function will stop it at 1.

Ah, I see now. Thanks for all the explanations!
