No idea. You'd probably have to make tiny versions of all your icons and make a new map. Then when you need to "Zoom out" just change the map and the player's icon.
|
Sorta similar to another idea (feature idea)I came up except it affects just your icon where it either comes closer to your screen or farther away. Excellent for top down view flying games for different altitudes. This feature makes it easier without having to make several copies of the same icon. B)
Been thinking about making a combat flight simulator for over a year now that is top-down view, however that idea didn't come til alot later. For such a new feature though would of course need some limits, unless ya want it limitless. |
hmm so it cant be done with out sevral hours wirth of work damn.maybe this should be a byond 4.0 feature to were you have camra options and etc dealing with view.
|
You could give them the illusion of getting a larger view, though the method is a bit crude. Just force the player into small mode, and increase the view, though I'm not sure how (or if it is possible) to force the player into small mode.

I have one guess which may or may not be of some help. You could try using it to scale the objects on your screen and re-add them in client.screen |

Client View works just fine, I did it for a few games. Have like a view of 6 and then on the world map make it 10, itll look zoomed out.
Here is an example I use for the Passage from Towns to Map. area/Passages/Central_City Heres what it looks like, Zoomed in and Zoomed out. Of course, players can reset their icon size to big again by theirselfs.. ![]() ![]() |
