use the scale object comand. Heres how it looks.



The first number is the number of your object(In this case 1).

The second is how much bigger along the x axis you want to scale your object.

The third number is how much taller you want your object to be(How much it is to be scaled along the y axis)

The last number is the same as the second and third number except it is for the Z axis.

Try starting with the last three numbers at 1000 and keep increasing it until you get the correct results.

Oh and keep the camand out of the main loop other wise your object will just keep getting bigger.

Hope you understand and it helps. (If you dont understand ask me)

your welcome.
I would say just ask if you need any help but mods dont like that.

*whisper* You can still ask if you need any more help though just dont tell the mods *whisper*

It's worth adding to what Big Man said that the last three parameters are percentages on the X, Y and Z axis.

If you used Scale Object 1,100,100,100 then object 1 would be unchanged - it's like saying Scale Object 1,100%,100%,100%

Scale Object 1,200,200,200 doubles the size of the object on all axis and Scale Object 1,50,50,50 halves the size of the object and so on.

100 is the original size of the object (100%), 1 is 100th the original size, 200 is 2x size, 300 is 3x size and so on.

Knowing this removes much of the 'trial and error' aspect as you have a rough idea of what numbers to use before using the command.

Another thing is that sometimes if you want to uniformly scale the object you have to do this

scale object 1, 50, 50, 50

Wouldn't it be easier if you only had to put in one value if all you wanted was a uniformly scaled object? Well now you can

function ScaleUni(objnum, value#)
scale object objnum, value#, value#, value#
endfunction

Example:
