Trying to create a Zoom Effect

Ok what i've done is add some square sprites, then created a Global Variable called "Zoom", Told the system to add 1 every 1.5 seconds, Then every 1 second Sprite Set size to(sprite.width&Zoom, Sprite.Height&Zoom)

But all that happens is the sprites dissapear...

I was trying to give a topdown sky diving effect as the objects get bigger.

& is a logical AND operator when used with numbers. Use * for multiply.

However, a better way would just be to use the 'set layer scale' action.

I've amended your .capx to show a quick way of using layer scale. Left mouse zoom in and right mouse to zoom out. Is THIS of any use?

Wow thanks for this it's excactly what i was trying to achieve, was thinking about, Pilot Wings on the SNES years ago, and wanted to have a go at creating something similar, i know it used a Mode 7, but i thought sprite scaling and rotation would work very similar.

Is there a way of doing sprite scale and rotation..? Say you was flying INTO the screen things would scale and rotate individualy.
