World Scaling

[opendevcode]

Hello,

 

I have tried Phaser for a couple of weeks and I am trying to create something like a zoom in zoom out functionality on a 2D platformer. I am having trouble with setting the view of the game.

 

I am using Phaser 1.1.3

 

 

First Approach:

this.camera.screenView.width *= 5;

I tried giving a different value for the camera's screenview. Screenview values changed but there are no changes with the camera's view.

 

 

Second Approach:

this.game.world.scale.x = 10

I tried giving a different value for the world's scale, but the result is the same with the first approach. Nothing happend

 

 

Third Approach:

gameGroup.setAll('scale.x', 5);platforms.setAll('scale.x', 5);gameGroup.add(platforms);

I tried creating a nested group but I was receiving an undefined errors.

 TypeError: e is undefined @ filephaser.min.js:2

 

 

Any ideas, suggestions or samples on how I should do this are welcomed.

 

Thank you

Scale the world container. In 1.1.3 it's a bit hidden, so it'd be like game.world._container.scale.set(x,y)

 

(although I probably wouldn't recommend it for 1.1.3 tbh)

 

In 2.0 it's just game.world.scale, and works fine

Thank you Rich

game.world.scale works like a charm -- but is there any way to use it for zoom, without effecting certain graphics? For example, I have a couple of Buttons that I would like to stay at constant size, no matter how much I zoom in or out. 

 

Thanks!
