Script call for zooming at player x, y?

[Parallax Panda]

Like the title says, I need a script call to zoom into the players x, y location. I'm using this for map transfers since I want that zoom effect before you enter a door. The script call I've been using is this;

$gameScreen.startZoom(x, y, zoom, duration);

The problem for me is with the "x" and "y" values. Even if I enter the x and y of the door the camera seems to zoom in, slightly on the side, and I don't want to manually write in the x and y for each door event anyway. If I can make the script call just zoom into the player (party leader) that could easily be copy pasted though.

I'm aware that there probably is plugins that can do this, but I'd prefer to use a script call if possible.

[EDIT; Might as well ask for another script call as well while I'm at it. I'm also looking for a script call to play an animation on a party follower. I thought that this should do the trick;

$game_player.followers[0].animation_id = 1;

But for for some reason it didn't.]
Anyone?

$gamePlayer.x and $gamePlayer.y

As for the animation...

$gamePlayer._followers[0].requestAnimation(id)

I'm not sure how the followers are habdled exactly, can be missing the _
or can be a funxtion call. But I think this is correct.

@Poryg
Thanks for your reply.

So, for the first question, the script call seems to work (I wrote it like this: $gameScreen.startZoom($gamePlayer.x, $gamePlayer.y, 2, 30); ). But the effect is the same as when I directly entered the coordinates for the door, and the camera zooms in a wee bit north-west of where you'd assume it should. It's weird but maybe this is how MV does it? I have no idea why though, or how to fix it.

Also, the animation script call didn't work at all unfortunately. I do very much appreciate the help though.

[Edit; I managed to get some help with the animation problem by someone named Baz in Studio Blue's Discord. In case anyone else needs to know the solution in the future, here is the correct script call:

this._character = $gamePlayer.followers().follower(0);
this._character.requestAnimation(1);
this.setWaitMode('animation');

I hope this spares someone else the trouble in the future.

Also decided to go with a plugin for the map zoom after all.]
