Hello all! So what happens is whenever i try to scale an object, in theory, the object should move a different speed assuming that you see the object the same in both sizes. In other words, if i try to take an object and make it bigger, and it was 10 units long and now its 100, shouldnt it seem to move at a 10th the speed? So how would i make it do that??????


All help is highly appreciated!!

The object would still move at the same speed.
If you moved the camera 10x farther away, then even though the object is moving at the same speed as before, it would appear to be moving slower because of the cameras farther distance away.

So, without moving the camera, to move an object slower, you really do have to move an object slower, floating point numbers are great for this.
