I saw a simmilar effect in Quintessence: TBV. I too would like to know how to get the effect. (hopefully without tons of pictures :dead: )

There's a way to event it (which I believe Reives used).

Take a screenshot of the map and characters and save it in the Pictures folder. Then use the "Show Picture" and "Move Picture" commands. Increase the "zoom" ratio and after a couple of "Wait frames", zoom back and erase the picture.

This is assuming you want it in a cutscene; if what you mean is zooming in on the player at any given time (probably by pressing a key), please do say so.

yea that will be good press a key so it can zoom on the character.
How can you do that?

You'll need to be more specific. Zooming in will be pixely, is that what you want? Should the map behind the player zoom in too? If so, I don't think it can be accomplished by any means eventing (unless you're willing to screenshot every single map and turn them into pictures) so you'll need a script for it.

Zooming in will be pixely, yea thats the one I want.

All right then.
