"Zoom in" is probably not a great use of words, but i'd like the player to be more of the center of the attention.

But, i'd like it to look like this.

hello!

My suggestion is to give the player sprite a behaviour called "Scroll to". And in the event sheet add a system action called "set layout scale".

Example:

On start of layout -> system: set layout scale to 1.5

ps: nice graphics!

Works perfectly, but the character starts to almost do a vibration motion.

Maybe you have more than 1 movement behaviours active on the player?

Nope, I have tile movement, and then coded W A S D to work with it on an event sheet.

I don't have experience with tile movement, but how about changing it for 8 direction movement behaviour?

So you end up with 2 behaviours: scroll to and 8 directions. (but disable "set angle", when you are in the layout editor -> click on player -> see left pane with information and settings on player)

Now you can move the character with the cursor keys on your keyboard, thanks to the '8 direction' behaviour.

Instead of using the scrollto behaviour create an on every tick event and add:

scroll to X - lerp(scrollx,player.x,0.5)

scroll to Y - lerp(scrolly,player.y,0.5)

This will give you a smooth scrolling camera. You can adjust the 0.5 figure between 0 & 1 to change the camera lag.
