Any way to gradually enlarge an object? (without moving it)

[KyriakosCH]

Any way to do that?
If not, I will try to achieve the same/mostly the same result by moving it in regions which enlarge it, but it would save me a lot of time if it can be gradually enlarged without having to move it (or, if that isn't possible for objects, just make it a """character""" and use a walking space that enlarges it...)

I want the in-game impression to be that the object is being steadily approached.

I think the best way to do this without regions is to use dynamic sprites and resize them. I'm not sure what the best approach is though.

I ended up using the Character--->move through walking area with gradual enlargement.
Doesn't look perfect, but with some tweaking it may look a bit better.
How it is currently:

For the zoom-in effect you could also use the new camera features, but I still haven't tested them myself: https://adventuregamestudio.github.io/ags-manual/Camera.html

Interesting... Thanks!
