  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.
