Panning starts to zoom

Hello people,

Newbie game maker here. Im making a mobile game which has zoom and panning from construct template. It works on debug mode just fine, but the problem occurs when I use it on phone or on chrome developer tool. It works just fine until I go from game level back to my main menu and then return on the level. After this, the panning starts to zoom, which makes the whole gaming experience pretty bad. I have tried to deactivate all events except going back to main menu and back, and touch controls, still it happens. Moving to other layouts (to next level) doesnt seem to trigger it. I guess there is a simple solution for this but im too blind to see it. I think I went through all previous post about zoom and panning but didnt find a solution. Would appreciate any help on this one.

It's hard to tell without seeing the code. My guess is that some global variable used for zooming/panning still has an old value from the previous level. You should try resetting these variables to their initial values on start of the layout.

Thanks for the reply. You were right! I have main menu and game on separated event sheets. I added " on start of layout - set touchpanid to -1" on my game eventsheet and it seems to be working. Still not quite sure why its like this but Im happy it works.
