Is it possible to "zoom in" at a certain point of the screen? I don't have a background in my room, just objects laid on top of one another, so how would I magnify these to give the impression of zooming?

Hi

As far as I know you can't zoom within a GUI so I guess you have to use other options.

You could make a bigger replica object that becomes visible as if zoomed in when you click the object. Again, reverse action when finished.

If there is a better way I'm sure someone here will let you know.

There's a magnifier module by monkey_05_06. It may be awesomely awesome to use.

Also I remember SSH had a zoom sprite module (but not for Dynamic Sprites)
And what seems a great candidate is Khris Dynamic Sprite resize/rotate + filter module.
Worked on Strangeland, Primordia, Hob's Barrow, The Cat Lady, Mage's Initiation, Until I Have You, Downfall, Hunie Pop, and every game in the Wadjet Eye Games catalogue (porting)

In general, the only way of zooming something is by resizing a DynamicSprite.

Everything else has to be done manually.
