I have an AGS game that runs 800x600 resolution. At one point in a cutscene, I wanted to have the game's camera zoom in on a character who's talking. So, I did this:

Code: ags

    // Create the camera/viewport
    Camera* sceneCamera = Camera.Create();
    sceneCamera.SetSize(400, 300); // half the normal resolution = 2x zoom
    sceneCamera.AutoTracking = false;
    
    Viewport* sceneViewport = Viewport.Create();
    sceneViewport.Camera = sceneCamera;
    sceneCamera.SetAt(401, 326); // specific position of zoom on original screen
    
    // Do some stuff while zoomed in
    Wait(10);
    cTom.Say("Test dialog!");
    
    // Restore to original zoom
    sceneViewport.Delete();
    sceneCamera.Delete();

When the scene zooms in, the overall graphics behave as expected, but Tom's speech text doesn't appear above his character: instead, it appears at the location where Tom was originally shown on the screen, before the zoom-in. It seems that the character text doesn't adjust its position for the zoomed-in viewport.

Has anyone else seen this? Am I using cameras/viewports wrong?

Thanks in advance!
