How to set a unit's scale size?

[sethmachine]

Hi,

So in object editor a unit's scale size is set with a real value,

e.g. "1.25" would mean 125% the size of the model.

What native sets a unit scale size?

I found this one "SetUnitScale," but it takes three values, and not one...

call SetUnitScale(u, 125.0, 125.0, 125.0)

would that scale it to 125% size?

You can use SetUnitScalePercent

I assume those values are the unit's scale on the x,y and z axises. So by setting them all to 125 the unit should be 125% the normal size in all dimensions.
But just do as Ceday said.

SetUnitScale is the native you're looking for. It takes in three components, XYZ. Unfortunately, in most cases, if not all, you can't have separate scales. So usually people will just set the X to a value and then the YZ to 0, or they'll set them all equal.

Anyway, you used it correctly, but instead of 125%, you set it to 12500%. 0 represents 0%, 1 represents 100%, 2 represents 200%, etc.. so you would actually input 1.25 in each input.

Or you can use the BJ. Generally, if you are unsure about what values a native takes in, look at the BJ. A lot of the BJ's adjust the values to make more sense from a GUI perspective. In this case, SetUnitScalePercent() will take your input and divide it by 100 (100% becomes 1). In other cases, such as vertex coloring, it'll take the percentage and scale it appropriately to a number between 0-255. etc. Check the link in my signature for a list of the blizzard.j. Usually you can just do a quick ctrl+f and find the function you need more information about. Sometimes they'll even have comments.

Indeed, it is in decimal.
