no. i mean the model scaling value. the value that makes the model looks bigger or smaller.

you are able to change the unit size but not sure about detecting it.
I dont think you can. But you can set pre integer values to sizes they are (that you already made them) and then if you change their size after that during game via trigger you can then store the size your changing them to a int and then use that as a condition checking method.

There is a trick using
IsUnitInRangeXY that uses an iterative loop to determine the size of a unit's collision based on the boolean values returned at different distances.Like "vertex" color, there is only a native for setting the value but no function for retrieving it.

Well I'm sure there is some work-around for GUI, but
It would be something like this.
IsUnitInRangeXY is not available in the GUI (I don't think).
JASS:
function GetUnitCollisionSize takes unit u returns real
local real r = 200 //max collision size
local real x = GetUnitX(u)
local real y = GetUnitY(u)
loop
exitwhen (r <= 0) or not IsUnitInRangeXY(u, x+r, y)
set r = r - 5 //decrements by 5, meaning this will only be
//accurate to 5 units of measurement.
endloop
if r < 0 then
set r = 0
endif
return r
endfunctionIt would be something like this.
