Screen Zoom - Version 1.1
RPG Maker MV Plugin
Galv
​

Introduction
A plugin that allows zooming in on the active screen


Screenshot

Features
This plugin allows you to zoom the screen to a certain x,y pixel location, scale and taking a certain duration to do it. Only map and map sprites will be affected by the zoom – window message and other scenes will not. The zoomed screen can be moved around by calling the script again with different x,y position or scale.

NOTE: This is a SCREEN zoom plugin, it only changes the camera zoom of the screen. It doesn’t scroll the map or allow you to see more of the map than the screen size permits normally. So for example, if you zoom out smaller than default 100% scale there will be black around the map edges.


How To Use
- Copy the "Galv_ScreenZoom" file into your project's /js/plugins/ folder.
- Activate plugin using the 'Plugin Manager'
- Read the help file and examine the demo to learn how it works.

@Bojidar Please do not hi-jack a thread with an unrelated query. I have already answered your Update post about this, and I suggest you follow my recommendation there.

Hello. I left a message on your side about the picture problem. I don't know how to explain it well, but as the description of the plugin said, it can create a weird effect onto the camera. I liked that effect because it made the camera moves smoother. But unfortunately, it also move pictures shown by command "Show Picture". I recorded a video below, pay attention to the hearts on the top left corner.


I'd be very appreciated if you have a solution for this, thank you so much.

The plugin zooms the screen and the pictures are part of that screen. As an example, show a picture and then use the 'shake screen' event command, you will see the picture also moves with that.

You'll need another plugin that changes how pictures are drawn. If you are after a smoother camera effect there are other plugins that do that. I have one: https://galvs-scripts.com/2015/11/27/mv-cam-control/ that might be of interest.
