player.zoom w > rw?

[mophydeen]

player.zoom is not readable only writable.

Could you make it both: rw ?

player.zoom is a visual property and isn't saved in the game state. It was readable in the past and that was removed because it breaks multiplayer instantly if read.

I don't think this has changed since then.

Correct. Additionally I can't think of any reason you'd ever want to read the zoom value.

Additionally I can't think of any reason you'd ever want to read the zoom value.

So you could implement a "jump" zoom mechanism, read the current value, add 0.5 to it, write to it. Then you could press +\- and zoom in and out in your preferred increments.

You could also implement a toggle. Press "X", zoom out to super view, press X again, go back to previous view.

You could also implement a "save view" system like in many RPG's. press <alt> + <F1> save current view (requires location & zoom), press <F1> goto saved view, press <F1> again, return to character.

If you would like I could come up with another couple of reasons why someone would need more information.
