setObjectScale()

Purpose

Set the size of a 3D object

Description

Change the scale factor used for the display of a 3D object and hence it's relative size

Syntax

setObjectScale( handle, scale )

Arguments

handle variable which stores the placed 3D object

scale vector containing the scale factors in 3 dimensions { x, y, z }

Example

cb = loadModel( "Kat Deak/Colin" )
pointLight( { 0.5, 1.3, 2 }, white, 4 )
setAmbientLight( { 0.5, 0.5, 0.5 } )
scale = { 1, 1, 1 }
colin = placeObject( cb, { 0, 0, 0 }, scale )
setcamera( { 0, 10, 10 }, { 0, 5, 0 } )
animID = 6
animlength = animationLength( colin, animID )
animframe = 0

loop
    clear()
    c = controls( 0 )
    if c.up then
        scale.x += 0.1
        scale.y += 0.1
        scale.z += 0.1
    endIf
    if c.down then
        scale.x -= 0.1
        scale.y -= 0.1
        scale.z -= 0.1
    endIf
    scale.x = clamp( scale.x, 0.5, 5 )
    scale.y = clamp( scale.y, 0.5, 5 )
    scale.z = clamp( scale.z, 0.5, 5 )
    setObjectScale( colin, scale )
    animframe = animframe + 1 / 60
    if animframe >= animlength then
        animframe = 0
    endIf
    updateAnimation( colin, animID, animframe )
    drawObjects()
    printAt( 0, 1, "Use the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the scale" )
    update()
repeat
