[solved] Incorrect scaling

Hi there.

I'm trying to make zoom capability, but one of my layers seems to scale incorrectly, and I'm not sure why.

I have a UI layer and above that a cursor layer, which has my cursor sprites on it. The sprite has its position set to the mouse.x and mouse.y coordinates every tick.

But when I change the layout scale, the mouse position and the sprite are in different places. At the middle of the screen it doesn't do this as much. I tried setting the layer scale rate to 0 but to no effect.

Edit:

Looked at the mouse coordinates, looks like they change based on the layout scale. Made the sprite set to the mouse position though, using cursor x = (mouse.x - (mouse.x - scrollx) / 2) and the same for y.

Mouse.x and Mouse.Y refers to the coordinate on your layout, so it will also take scaling, etc. into account. So yes.

You can use Mouse.X("layer name") and Mouse.Y("layer name") to get coordinates for specific layer

Ah, thanks guys, I'll give that a try shinkan.

Edit: Worked for the cursor, but since I have objects on other layers that I drag and drop, it seems to conflict there giving the same result as before. I might have to just set a global variable for mouse/touch position. I'll mess around with it a little more first though.

Solved: I used mouse("layer") on a layer that was scaled and it worked fine.
