How do I scale the size of a creature not on screen?

Stoneking

So I know you can increase the size of a creature or object on the screen, but how do I do it so the size increase sticks permanently in the creature list on the right? Could someone give me a script I an put in heartbeat or onspawn please?

Well, there is an old school method for creatures:

Thats not what I wanted. You can't scale weapons with that method

You could put the scaling function in the creature's OnSpawn script, so every time it's instantiated it will have the intended size. I use a slightly more complicated method that first checks for a variable for creatures I want to have a fixed size, and then uses a randomized scaling factor for all the rest, so there's a variety of sizes when multiples are created.. I put this bit in nw_c2_default9:

if (GetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF,"NO_SCALE")!=1)
{
float fScaleSize=GetLocalFloat(OBJECT_SELF,"SCALE_SIZE");
if (fScaleSize==0.0)
{
fScaleSize=1.0+(IntToFloat(Random(11))/100.0)*IntToFloat(Random(3)-1);
}
SetObjectVisualTransform(OBJECT_SELF,OBJECT_VISUAL_TRANSFORM_SCALE,fScaleSize);
}

If you just want a fixed size, just put the last line of code in your OnSpawn script, and substitute fScaleSize with whatever value you prefer.

Thank you
