Anything is possible. There are an infinite number of solutions to this behavior. My approach would be to look for the range between objects in the scene onUpdate callback, then call your zoom-in function when the objects are within range and zoom-out when out of range.

just get the positions of each and measure the distance in an onUpdate().


so in onUpdate()
%this.object1Pos = %this.object1.getPosition();
%this.object2Pos = %this.object2.getPosition();
%distBetween = t2dVectorDistance(%this.object1Pos, %this.object2Pos);


then write an if statement.

if %distBetween > 1, set zoom to X
if %distBetween < 1, set Zoom to X3


etc etc.
