First I make an object and then I scale it. Now I whant to print out the new size, but the program still says 32x32x32!

[CODE]#include "DarkGDK.h"

void DarkGDK ( void )
{
dbSyncOn();
dbMakeObjectBox(1, 32, 32, 32);
dbScaleObject(1, 111, 222, 333);

while(LoopGDK())
{
dbText(0, 0, dbStr(dbObjectSizeX(1)));
dbText(0, 32, dbStr(dbObjectSizeY(1)));
dbText(0, 64, dbStr(dbObjectSizeZ(1)));

dbSync();
}
}[/CODE]

When you Scale an object 100 then its 100% of its size. when you Scale an object 111 then its 111% of its size. The true size of the object is still the original size.

So to find the "new" size of 32 with Scale 111 you need to find 111% of 32 = (32 / 100) * 111 = 0.32 * 111 = 35.52

As far as i know, there is an extra parameter on the get object size commands, 0 = Not include scaling, 1 = Include scaling. So change for example the following line:
Quote: "dbText(0, 0, dbStr(dbObjectSizeX(1)));"


to

dbText(0, 0, dbStr(dbObjectSizeX(1, 1)));

However, im not sure if this is a new feature in one of the later updates of dbpro, so as dgdk, is out of date the extra parameter may not exist.
