SetObjectVisualTransform() ?

Zephirius

Can anyone give me an example script using the function - SetObjectVisualTransform()
I'm trying to enlarge an object by using it and am having trouble figuring it out.

Thanks -

You need to use OBJECT_VISUAL_TRANSFORM_SCALE.

Otherwise the Lexicon example is pretty helpful:

Remember it is called SetObjectVisualTransform() because it only affects the visuals of the object and not the collision box/walkmesh. Make your object big enough or move it too far and NPCs/PCs can walk straight through it.

I put down a barrier and two levers. Give them tags based on what's in the script.

void main()
{
    object oBarrier = GetObjectByTag("TEST_BARRIER");
    float fSize = GetObjectVisualTransform(oBarrier,OBJECT_VISUAL_TRANSFORM_SCALE);

    if( GetTag(OBJECT_SELF) == "plus_lever" )
    {
        SetObjectVisualTransform(oBarrier,OBJECT_VISUAL_TRANSFORM_SCALE,fSize+0.2);
    }
    else
    {
        SetObjectVisualTransform(oBarrier,OBJECT_VISUAL_TRANSFORM_SCALE,fSize-0.1);
    }

    fSize = GetObjectVisualTransform(oBarrier,OBJECT_VISUAL_TRANSFORM_SCALE);
    FloatingTextStringOnCreature("Size: "+FloatToString(fSize),GetLastUsedBy());
}

I made this when I was initially playing around with the functions. I was a little bummed to find out what Tarot just pointed out since the object in my example was a magical barrier. But, I've found a few other fun uses for it.

Thanks for the example Tarot...

Not me - that was @Terrorble.
