How do I zoom in and out with mouse wheel (WITH 3D CAMERA) Orthographic view?

This helps a lot:

Much more complex than I thought it would be. Still trying to sort out all the unwanted stuff to just get down to the 3d camera zoom in and out.

Zoom doesn't really make sense with an orthographic projection. Normally moving the camera forwards and backwards makes things bigger and smaller with a perspective projection. But the whole point of an orthographic projection is that nothing changes size when you do that, so you won't see any difference.

The editor uses a 2D stretch to implement zoom with an orthographic projection as zoom is useful for editing, but in that case it's not actually moving the camera, and I don't think there's a good equivalent if the camera is not pointing down 2D style.

Maybe zoom is the wrong word for it. Orthographic scale might be a better term. I want the player to see more or less of the isometric/orthographic map.

When in 2d (with pre rendred isometric/orthographic graphics it was easy to just scale the layout.

I'll test it top down as would be fairly easy. I'm guessing you are right though :)

Looking at an camera angle and moving the camera away and closer to the player is some fairly hard trigonometry to implment in Construct

I'm just talking out my backside with this one. But would changing the new feature "Field of view" help out in this situation? Or is the Camera static for Orthographic view?

Orthographic projections don't have a field of view, either. The camera volume is a box. The only thing that influences it is the viewport size. Maybe the "Set canvas size" action will do what you need.

I had a feeling that was the case. Thanks for clarifying Ashley

Brilliant as always Ashley I was able to get the canvas size to work. Seems like Construct can do anything if you think about it the right way. I don't know how you have the time to answer everyones problems & questions. Real commitment to your awesome platform!
