[General] How to increase size of model attachment?

[sethmachine]

Hi,

Just learned how to attach models to units. But how do I make the models bigger?

I'm trying to put this SkeletonMask to cover up the face of the wolf. But it's so tiny! How do I make it bigger? You can see it fits on the priest, but barely noticeable.

Specialeffects are scaled along with the unit-scaling. Making the wolf bigger will also increase the size of the mask, but the proportions will always be the same.

You can test that with AddSpecialEffectTarget(...) and then change the unit scaling.

However you will not be able to adjust this mask to the wolfs face.

Don't want a perfect fit, even if the mask floated in front of its face I'd be happy.

So there's no way to make the mask itself bigger?

A little bit of resizing with modeling ways will do.

You can
a) work on the mask model itself. In that case we have a artists forum section.
Some dark place I've never been before ^^

b) You can use a dummy which moves along with the wolf, that dummy would be scale-able. Tbh I don't think this solution will work out nice or even not at all.

The Wolf is animated, so it moves its head and stuff. I dont think using a dummy is viable.

Just open the model with Magos Model Editor, open the Model Editor window, select all vertices and scale them with a value > 1.
