I've come up with a good idea that allows your view to "zoom" in on an
object when your cursor goes over it, and the ability to decide how far you
zoomin

if you put create zoom without a number it would zoom in on the object
depending on how far you are away from it (and if its in range) a few other
ways for it to work could be:
0 meaning default meters (or w/e else) and 40 meaning how many meters away
you can be the zoomin on it, when you do zoomin the object will appear to
you no matter where you are as long as you are in the area its in, in other
words if you were in its line of sight, if it were inside a room (or behind
a wall object or any other object for that matter) and you wern't in the
room you wouldn't zoomin on the object
create zoom 0 40

also:

once zoomedin on an object if it were moving (or started moving) then your
camera would follow it until you moved your cursor off of it; you could also
set it up so people could zoomin on your avatar when their cursor is on you
(or on your chat bubble), if you didn't want your avatar to have people
zooming in on it you would disable it and if you didn't want to zoomin on an
object (or avatar) at all you could disable zooming(for your browser)
completely

and if a world allowed you to you could zoom in on anything you want by
yourself, in other words there could be a Paintball World which could allow
you to zoom in for sniping or one which does not, they'd also beable to
choose if zooming was enabled for avatars to give away (or not give away)
positions

Ah, Dynamic Object Scaling... As you like to agree, "Its been asked for over
a year.".

what happened? I was asking for a feature that allows you to zoomin on an
object not scale an object and where did I agree to "Its been asked for over
a year."?

In order to zoom (at least the way anyone would use), is to scale the object
in your 3d window...
