Character change rendering: cannot change scale to the right scale.

PurpleShine

Hi,

I can change the scale but only with integers, for my character I like to use floats, because it is really needed! My character needs to be 2.5 from time to time. How do I achieve this in AC? 

@ChrisIceBox

SkyTree

Can you use Transform action for your needs?
If I still remember this might work.

ChrisIceBox

2.5 as a percentage?  I'll concede that being an integer might be a limitation, but you're certain that your intended scale is 0.025?

PurpleShine

Hi, my scale must be between 2 and 3 and indeed, an integer wouldn't let me...

PurpleShine

@SkyTree I already tried that but thanks for your help (It wouldn't work)

PurpleShine

(my character needs to be scale 3 in scene 2 but when he comes back to scene 1 he was 2.5, so I need the same 2.5 scalet)

I tried to write an Action for AC but it took me too long... so I just wrote a very simple script for demonstration purposes, how hard is this to get in Action? It should be very easy, I know.. it's just I almost never script anymore so I have to search everything again to be able to make that Action. But this is what I want to do in a normal AC action:

using UnityEngine;

using System.Collections;

public class ScaleChar : MonoBehaviour {

public Transform player;

public Vector3 Scale = new Vector3();

public bool scaleplayer;

// Use this for initialization

void Start () {

}

// Update is called once per frame

void Update () {

if(scaleplayer){

player.transform.localScale = Scale;

}

}

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){

if(player.transform.tag == "Player"){

scaleplayer = true;

Debug.Log("Hitted Player");

}

}

}

You don't want to call it in an Update - instead, just lock the scale to a value:

player.lockScale = true;
player.spriteScale = 0.025;

This code would be placed in an Action's Run() function, as covered here.

Thank you, I am making a 2.5D game though, With 2D backgrounds and 3D characters. So I need to scale my 3D character, not a sprite, does this work the same with 3D characters?

PurpleShine

My intended scale is 2.5, not 0.025 btw. But I cant write dots in the change character render action.

ChrisIceBox

From what I was asking you before, I thought you were after 2.5%.

If you're working with a 3D character, you just want to change the transform scale:

player.lockScale = true;
player.transform.localScale = new Vector3 (2.5f, 2.5f, 2.5f);

Thanks Chris, it works as a custom AC action now.:)
