Change Unit's projectile scale in-game

[Helheim]

Hi!
I need to change the unit's projectiles scale in-game.
When I change the unit scale in World Editor - everything is fine, its projectiles become bigger as intended.
But the in-game trigger changes only unit size, but his projectiles size remains intact:

• Set VariableSet TempReal[7] = (Real((100 + (20 x TEI_INI))))
• Animation - Change BOSS_DummyAdd[4]'s size to (TempReal[7]%, TempReal[7]%, TempReal[7]%) of its original size

Of course, there is a solution to create multiple copies of the unit with different scales and replace them one by one when needed.
But maybe there is a more… elegant way to achieve that?
Thanks!

You can try adjusting scale using this Set Unit Real Field action:

• Unit - Set Unit: (Triggering unit)'s Real Field: Scaling Value ('usca') to Value: 300.00

That may scale the projectiles as well assuming you have projectile scaling enabled.

Already tried, but it was set to 1.0 + 0.2*i. Will try percentage then!

1.0 + 0.2*i

Complex numbers in Wc3??

Another solution would be to reverse-bear-form morph the unit into a different version of it with a different scaling value. Before/after launching the projectile may yield different results.

Not really, I've just shorten this

• Set VariableSet TempReal[7] = (1.00 + ((Real((20 x TEI_INI))) / 100.00))

Bear form seems to give only 2 scaling options, plus it will break attack animation while cast

Bear form ... will break attack animation while cast

Not bear form... reverse bear form: Hero passive transformation into another version of the same unit with a different scaling value.

You misunderstand me. A+Bi is complex number notation where i = sqrt(-1). Since I couldn't see an i variable being used in your first post it looks like a complex number. And incidentally complex numbers are very related to angles.

This is a nice trick, but what if I need let's say, 100 scaling variants? If I understand it correct, it can provide two scaling numbers, from UnitType A and UnitType B.

yup, should copy-paste it from WE, instead of being lazy

Yeah just two. Would need a new pair of ability + unit for each different size you want it to become. I proposed that as a way that might change the unit's scaling value in a way the projectile engine 'recognizes' if straight setting its scaling value directly doesn't produce results.

 

[Helheim]

That may scale the projectiles as well assuming you have projectile scaling enabled.

Unfortunatelly, this one had no effect at all, even on the unit size itself

Yeah just two.

Alright then, it's time to do some copy-paste…

OK, I've found that the pre-placed unit on the map works as intended. No idea what the difference is from the unit created by the trigger.
But my goal is achieved.
