I found this while looking at the Devlog as of July 2006.
It was in the code. I wondered if it still worked. It does.



Sadly it doesn't modify the positions of the attachments or the size of them.

So a Scaled Green Clone is just a Giant Hunk of Meat with a little clone in the middle.

All I did for the Flak cannon was add into it.

Discuss.

So... if you fired it it would launch a regular sized flak shell?

Probably. Are the offsets for holding the gun changed?

Unless the particle had Scale = 5 as well.

I just tested. The offsets are not changed. Only the sprite.

Easy giant actors?
And weapons

Limbpaths aren't affected by this. All it does is quickly resize sprites. You'd still have to change all the offsets and limbpaths and stuff.

Interesting, what could this have been used for?

Well, if you do change the limbpaths then you don't have to make giant sprite, all you have to do is make normal sized sprites.

Ok, for actors, does this resize ALL sprites?
Or are you going to have to put the variable in different limb codes?

Glows and explosions, I guess. Have a 24x24 glow gib into the same thing with scale = 2 gib into the same thing with scale = 4 etc.
With glows, they should become less bright as they become bigger, shouldn't they?

I believe that this variable was only meant for use on MOSParticles, as, that is where I saw it implemented.

And Roy, all it does is change the size of the sprite (includes collision). That's it.

So in other words this has practically no use.

Say you wanted to make a bunch of different sized grenades. You could do that easily, and only have to make one sprite.

But they'd all be fugly as hell.
