Thanks for the tips Volnaiskra. I remember having issues with pausing animations in the past. I'm gonna hopefully remember to revisit this thread if I run into them again.

It depends what you want to do exactly.

For instance, you could do:

+No Music is playing
-Play Music

You can simulate a zoom by changing the positions and sizes of all objects on screen (other than UI elements) if you're making a mobile app. If you're making something for PC, there are also shaders...

Yeah, if you're making this for mobile devices you'll have to make multiple actives that are different colors. You can't use shaders or the replace color option. Multiple actives is also kind of...

That sounds awesome. I will certainly pick up 2.5 when it's out, but until then I would like to get a working example of this.
