Script - Zoom
From FreeSpace Wiki
This script enables you to zoom your view so precise aiming is easier. It includes a config file that specifies the values the script will use. It also features a FRED SEXP interface so A FREDer can force a zoom-in (or -out) as needed. For more documentation check out this thread.
Table Entry
- To use create an file called zoom-sct.tbm in your date/tables directory and paste the following code into it:
#Conditional Hooks $Application: FS2_Open $On Game Init:[[zoom_init.lua]] $On Key Pressed: [[zoom_KeyDn.lua]] $On Key Released: [[zoom_KeyUp.lua]] $Application: FS2_Open $On Mission Start: [ if not runZoomScript then runZoomScript = true end ] $On Mission End: [ if runZoomScript then runZoomScript = false if defaultZoomSet and cam:isValid() then cam:setFOV(normalFOV) -- Resetting the FOV in case we have not zoomed out completely end removeTemps() end ] $On Frame: [ if not hu.HUDDrawn then return -- Don't even think about drawing if HUD is not shown! end if runZoomScript then if zooming then handleControls() drawProgress() end end ] #End
After this create the file zoom_init.lua int your data/scripts folder and paste the following into it:

Then create the file zoom_KeyDn.lua and zoom_KeyUp.lua in your data/scripts directory and paste the following into then:
zoom_KeyDn.lua:
if runZoomScript and not fredOverride then if hv.Key:lower() == zoomLockKey:lower() then if lockedZoom then lockedZoom = false zoomOut() else lockedZoom = true zoomIn() end elseif hv.Key:lower() == zoomKey:lower() then zoomIn() end end
zoom_KeyUp.lua:
if runZoomScript and not fredOverride then if not lockedZoom then if hv.Key:lower() == zoomKey:lower() then zoomOut() end end end
After this create a file named zoom_config.cfg in your data/config directory and paste the following text into it:
