Midgit, Giant

Does anyone know how to change it so once your a giant, your viewbox now covers the giant? Lets say my giant is scale 2

hmm o man, so that you KNOW youre giant and can actually SEE it?

so that they can see your a giant, but when they shoot at you, it actually picks up that youre a giant, not still the normal size

I can't understand what you mean either...

ok ill help you out.
local.player.scale = .5
local.player setsize ( -16 -16 0 ) ( 16 16 48 ) //Set the bounding box to half height
that makes it so you can shoot midgits. How do you make it so you can shoot giants?

Well, a scale of 0.5 won't make the player much smaller, as the standard scale is 0.52.

A player of half the size would be:

Code: Select all

local.player.scale = 0.26
local.player setsize ( -8 -8 0 ) ( 8 8 48 )

Giant (2x larger):

Code: Select all

local.player.scale = 1.04
local.player setsize ( -32 -32 0 ) ( 32 32 192 )

That should do.

no, isnt .52 the scale of the model that is specified in the TIKI? so that means 1.00 is the .52?

Post by **Rookie One.pl** » Sat Mar 05, 2005 8:38 pm

The TIKI commands are actually the same as the script commands. So - the player's (as well as all other models') default scale is 0.52.

hmmm then in radiant why is everything scale 1?

Post by **Rookie One.pl** » Sat Mar 05, 2005 8:47 pm

Is it? I haven't ever noticed it.

Uh well, I might be wrong.

scale 1 in Rad isnt the same as a TIKI scale. TIKI scale deals with model scale, Rad scale deals with multiplying the TIKI scale.

Are you certain of that?

davidyoung99 · Post by **davidyoung99** » Sat Mar 05, 2005 10:02 pm

yes, it is true, thats why I cant figure out what the scale should be for a giant.

Post by **Rookie One.pl** » Sat Mar 05, 2005 10:18 pm

It should be simply 2 then.

this is the voice of experience, not a documentation.
